There is no conclusive proof of what causes Bipolar Disorder but there are several schools of thought. They are Neurotransmitters, Ion activity, brain structure, and genetic factors.
Neurotransmitters-Mania may be linked to high nerepinephine activity or low serotonin activity.
Ion activity-research has found that membrane defects in the neurons of persons with Bipolar Disorders and have observed abnormal functioning in the proteins that helphelp transport Ions across a neuron membrane
Brain Structure-Postmortem studies have indentified a number of abnormal structures in people with bipolar disorders
Genetic Factors-Many experts believe that people inherit a biological predisposition to develop Bipolar disorders. Family pedigree studies support this idea.
Food for thought.
