Of my husband and I’s kids having something wrong with them? I have Bipolar type 2 (hereditary, my father has Bipolar type 1), my husband has mild cerebral palsy (meaning he is fully functioning, he works as an accountant). Should we worry about the chances of our children having something wrong with them? Any advice/answers would be helpful, thanks!
Okay, let me rephrase this…any answers that are helpful and not rude would be helpful.

Has bipolar disorder disrupted your family?

My husband has recently been diagnosed as having bipolar disorder. I don’t know if I can actually depend upon him to take medication on a regular basis or not. I have a 19 month old now, and am currently pregnant and due in April. Our therapist recommended that he be medicated, and perhaps I may want to “look at other options” for providing for my two children, as this is not something that can be “cured”. My parents and family are just over an hour away, in a different state, and want me to move back “home”, closer to them, so they can help me with the kids, even if he chooses not to help. What should I do? Do I give him a chance to change? What percentage of people become “manageable” with medication? Is it going to be worth the effort, or will I have to be a mom to my husband too?
Recently, my husband has shown signs of increased verbal abuse towards me. He has also become “withdrawn” at times, so much so that he will not even attempt to leave the apartment. He will not do any menial chores (empty garbage, clean, feed our 19 month old, make dinner, etc.) and has recently refused to give me his share of the rent/daycare expenses, stating he doesn’t have enough money in his account (he does). He rarely plays with our son, and will sit and play games on his computer all day/night, disregarding that our son is right next to him. I will ask him for assistance, and he will pretend like he doesn’t even hear me. He will continually try to incite an argument, mostly over the littlest things (who picked up the toys last, etc.). I am 25 weeks pregnant, and could certainly use the assistance of another caring human being.
is schizophrenia genetic? Is bipolar disorder genetic? If either of them are, are there tests that can show if?

For the last couple months i been researching bipolar disorder, taking tests, looking at symptoms, asking questions online, and i seem to have over 85% of the symptoms. I am really young, although most of the research shows that children can be diagnosed at the age of 5.
Anyways, My real question is how do i tell my parent that i may be bipolar without her jumping to conclusions and saying im definitely not.
And if you have more information on bipolar disorder can you please post it, i want to get as much research as possible.
please answer. I need some help&& i am open to all suggestions.
What’s wrong with me?

I feel empty constantly. I don’t consider anyone a “real” friend. I’ve felt lonely since I was a little child, probably 8 or 9 years old. I’m 15 now.
I have a crush on someone who considers themself as my friend and he makes me feel depressed. I told him I liked him in January and he still hasn’t said anything. He does things that seem very flirty and make me think he likes me, but he’s too immature to say it. He even kissed me on the cheek. WTF? I feel sad when he’d rather talk to someone else than me. It makes me feel invisible and worthless.
Sometimes when I daydream, I pretend I have cancer or some other disease so I can justify my pain. Yet I don’t care as much for others’ pain.
Lately, I’ve been having trouble sleeping because I can’t stop thinking about my crush. I’ve tried to not like him, but I’ve so far had no luck.
It probably doesn’t help that I’m supposed to get my period next week. But I never used to get this depressed until last summer. My mom is bipolar.
He isn’t my first crush.
I’m more comfortable around guys though. I don’t like being around girls as much.

Would you take your child to a day care center if you knew the director suffered from bipolar disorder?

I was diagnosed with bipolar 5 years ago. I haven’t been able to go to the doctor or get my medicine for 3 years because my job has no insurance, and I don’t make enough to get insurance on my own. When I went to the local DHS branch to see if they could help, the lady told me I was too old for the children’s medicaid and too young for the adult (I’m 23). I live in Arkansas. Where can I find help for paying for my doctor visits and prescriptions? I really need this medicine.

Why Atheist believe that being spiritually possessed is a mental “illness”?
I know there are alot of mind sickness and other disorders people have everyday that may seem like
Bipolar disorder etc. But why would a person that may not in fact believe in god and seeming possessed say ANYTHING about war, and evil of the world that demons and Satan have caused. Why would children and adults in other country’s that aren’t even taught religion, become possessed in this matter and speak of Killing, rape, war, diseases demons and Satan caused. I believe science can only take there theory’s so far.
Im not here to bash any atheist or whatnot, just seeing your views on this. xD
Lol Im still asking, how would a person from another country, NOT been taught religion, Dosent even know wat it is, hallucinate about such things. Especially Demons in this matter.
This is if you misread my questions.
A modest. Do you really think Everyone in this whole world is infact knowledgeable about jesus, demons etc. There are prob millions of ppl who dosent even know wat it is.
