bipolar what causes it

What are the main causes of bipolar disorder?
There are many theories about what causes it, but no definitive answers yet. What doctors know is that that can be inherited, if a person in his family hotline, ie mom or dad has it or one of the family members have or had then more likely be made by him. Bipolar disorder is characterized by a chemical imbalance in the brain with receptors Serotonin and the amount of serotonin being released by the axon of the nerves. At times the axons are putting out too much at other times not enough. Al be on antidepressant medication along with drugs to serotonin production and effect of absorption of many patients with bipolar disorder are able to live a life relatively normal. These are the patients not taking their medications correctly, they have problems, usually younger patients with less experience. He begins to feel normal because of their drugs and think they are cured and stop taking them then sets in motion a cycle and within hours or days or weeks depending speed of its cycle where it again in his manic and / or depression. Often goes unnoticed until someone in the family of patients receive a bill for purchases or the patient tries to harm themselves and must be taken to hospital. That's all I can give you another to add that often the drug cocktails in these patients are often changes because the body can and often develop a tolerance to drugs. Hope this helps.
