i honestly don't know how he could have told you that- particularly when the chromosome that carries bipolar disorder hasn't been found (they THINK it may lie on 18) and no one knows if its linked to the x or y chromosome- and if it's x, that's carried by both mother and father. also lots of people think environment may have something to do with it, so sorry your shrink sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about. take care, judy
