I was diagnosed with bipolar in 1998 and have been on lithium alone
for ten years. Being adopted, I have no health
history of my own, yet I have two sons. My oldest is almost 18 and I have never had him tested due to all the trauma of my own illness,(denial is big with me). I have had my suspiscions though, and I know my son has too. Does and illness like this tend to skip a generation or more likely to pass directly from parent to child?
