Answers:
i asked my phycology teacher the same thing in class last week about autism

he says that the baby will not have autism . and the chances are in the very high

90 percentile . he say "all extremes progress toward the mean"

which means that the genes progress towards normality.

but that only refers to extremes. and bipolar refers to an extreme .

ex. 2 very tall people will not have an even taller child because the genes work toward normality . 2 midgets will not have midget children . if our genes did not work toward normality then we would be in a world where tall people kept getting taller . and small people keep getting smaller

hope that helped =)Health Question & Answer

Bipolar Disorder is frequently inherited, with genetic factors accounting for approximately 80% of the cause of the condition. If one parent has Bipolar Disorder, there is a 10 per cent chance that his or her child will develop the illness. If both parents have Bipolar Disorder the likelihood of their child developing the illness rises to 40 per cent.Health Question & Answer

well if these people with bipolar are obviously diagnosed then they would be on medication to stabilise their condition so would in fact be "ordinary" stable human beings who are just as able to provide a loving caring environment for their child just as any other other person in this world, im sure they would have professional counselling and the child's behaviour would be observed as it grew older, and appropriate tests would be conducted,, see, what really should be bothering you and the smart a.rs,es who answer your question is the amount of adults out there who are not diagnosed with any mental condition, who are outwardly "of the norm" but who are actually mentally unstable, real mental cases who go unnoticed yet bring several kids into the world,who eventually end up paying the price for being part of a dysfunctional family!!

Since the parents are both bipolar, I would assume that the children would be bipolar as well. Then again it can go the other way around.Health Question & Answer

The odds would be there for the child to be bipolar as well. But just because the parents are bipolar doesn't necessarily mean that the child will be to.Health Question & Answer
