Is depression or more specifically bipolar disorder genetic? Could it possibly be passed from a parent to the child?

I'm actually going to assume that you searched this on google- because I did- and it didn't give a straight answer.
Try those articles.. they might give an answer.
If not- tell me.. and I'll be generous and find out for you..

ADDITIONAL INFO. I saw your feedback where you mentioned more of what you were experiencing. I urge you to see a doctor or go to the emergency room for help. The symptoms you described there are potentially dangerous to your health. Look into it.
It can be genetic and passed down. Having said that anyone can develop the disorder as it doesn't discriminate. Most people who have it experienced mania in their late teens to early 20s.
There's a lot of signs but not all of them are easy to see. Most common are racing thoughts, paranoia, halucinations, delusions, inability to sleep or rest. Thoughts of controlling the universe, grandiose visions. How do I know? I have the problem myself.
With lithium and other drugs anyone who suffers from bipolar disorder can have a normal, healthy and active life. They're no different once treated.
