Читать книгу Welcome to the Jungle, Revised Edition - Hilary T. Smith - Страница 18

It's taken as a given that your uncle Bernie is off his rocker, but has anyone else in your family been diagnosed with a mental illness? Have any of your relatives been hospitalized for depression, mania, or psychosis? Anyone receiving counseling or taking meds for a psychiatric disorder? Or does anyone have a condition that can look similar to bipolar, such as Aspergers, temporal lobe epilepsy, schizophrenia, or straight-up depression? Bipolar appears to have a strong genetic component, and bipolar in the family can predict bipolar in you. Don't be afraid to contact family members and relatives to get as complete a picture as possible. Maybe your mom/uncle/grandpa has a condition you didn't even know about.
