Bipolar disorder is a highly heritable mental illness. Similar to other complex conditions, it is driven by multiple genes. This webinar will look at the genetics of youth bipolar disorder, both at the family level and at the DNA level. The single most significant risk factor for the development of bipolar disorder is having a family history of the disorder. This webinar will also discuss the impact of parental mental health on children’s mental health, as well as family therapy options and their treatment targets. Lastly, we will introduce a new project, in collaboration with colleagues at CAMH and people with lived experience, focusing on bipolar disorder in families and across the lifespan.
