Hi.
Difficulty sleeping and anxiety are your first signs that an affective disorder will emerge. Identical twins with bipolar genes doesn't guarantee that both will get the illness. Many times, one will get it and the other not. Environment can play a role in this. Just be a good parent. Communicate with your child to determine if she is under stress. If you are attentive and not abusive, this will go a long way to reducing the psychosocial stress that can trigger the illness. Most of that is common sense, but still depends on communication. What's going on in her life? Participate.
