incest is sex between two close family members. The child could end up with health problems bipolar isn't very common with that but it could I guess

Not that I'm aware of... Why?

I don’t see the connection

I have read that bipolar can be brought on by trauma, but not in all cases. If someone experienced childhood incest related trauma, it’s possible that could have brought on bipolar

@Jenny1234 are there any signs of said trauma and how does one know
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
@tina14111 i’m not a doctor, but I’m sure there’s lots of different signs of trauma

My first guess would be depression, anxiety, anger, maybe fear of abandonment and I’m sure a whole host of others

Some mental illnesses can develop directly from trauma.
Possibly. Im not sure anyone else would have linked the two as a point of study

A bipolar person in a manic swing may experience hypersexuality, but that doesn't mean they would commit incest.

So I guess the answer is, no, not typically/necessarily.

Not particularly, I'm guessing? But you'd have to ask a mental health professional.

Where do you get that comparison 🤔?? Interesting question though...
Why do you believe bipolar is related to incest?
@Guardian from what I learned, it’s a chemical imbalance in the brain is what bipolar is, and they have done studies where it was directly related to incest,
@Firedragonco2 neurodivergence causes many unusual behaviors as a coping strategy, so it is possible. But the two are not necessarily linked.

Therapy
Or find someone to talk with that you trust

It is a byproduct of incest
