Don't be too quick to diagnose your son. He may get it, may not. I have bipolar disorder and four children. They may get it, may not...None of them have my green eyes. :)

Its not a proven fact that bi-polar is passed in the gene pool. My docs told me that yes it is a good possibility but enought studies have not been done to prove this factor. I am the first in my family to be diagnosed, in fact the first to even exhibit the symptoms. From the research I have done....Bi-polar comes to a head in the late adolecent years (14 on up) and more common in females. You need to watch for signs of depression, mood swings and just anything that is unusal in his behavior. Keep a close eye on his school progress as well, because at the younger age depression and mood swings could just be trouble with peers. For now....Do your research, find out exactly what to look for as a just in case. And as the other reply goes.....Don't be so quick to diagnose. In my opinion, you have a good heading already. It is a genuine fear that this disorder could appear but you are ahead of the game with the knowledge you already have and can gain by the time you have to really worry about it.
