The 'received wisdom' of current psychiatric/mental health research suggests that Bipolar Disorder runs in families. Some practitioners suggest a genetic approach, as the problem runs in families. However, this ignores pressing evidence for environmental conditioning, and the high correlation of BPD and other psychiatric conditions with upbringing in [[socialist]] or [[liberal]] nations, and the high correlation of increased mental disorder with education in public/state schools. Bipolar disorder can often be controlled with medication. Episodes can sometimes be brought on by stressful experiences or physical illness.

Current psychiatric/mental health research suggests that Bipolar Disorder runs in families, as it seems to have more to do with genes than with upbringing. There may be a physical problem with the brain systems which control our moods - this is why bipolar disorder can often be controlled with medication. Episodes can sometimes be brought on by stressful experiences or physical illness.
