Q: My Brother Has Bipolar Disorder

Hello
I am new here and I am just looking for some advice really.
My brother was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder earlier this year and I don't think I am doing much (if anything) to help.
We are close but he now lives over 80 miles away from me and I feel helpless.
I am scared that I could have contributed or even caused his illness in our childhood. I can't really ask him anything about the illness and we avoid the subject when we meet.
I am just always so worried. His girlfriend has recently left him and so he is moving back to our parents. I just want him to be happy and don't know how to make it happen.
To make things worse, it is his birthday soon and I am terrified I will buy him the wrong thing.
I appreciate any response to this post.
Maude xx
