Do pregnancy and childbirth increase the risk of bipolar disorder?

If you have bipolar disorder, hormonal fluctuations may be an issue if you are pregnant or in the postpartum period, because many women experience the "baby blues" from a change in hormone levels. However, if the feelings of sadness begin to interfere with your normal functioning, you should consult your healthcare provider and let him or her know how you feel. Such a change in hormones may also trigger a bipolar episode.

Pregnancy and childbirth are risk factors for many women, so make sure to tell your provider about your history of bipolar disorder symptoms, even if you haven't yet been diagnosed.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
