My sister has (i think) a bipolar disorder, and at the very least a serious anger management issue.
To my memory, my sister has always had these problems and they have gotten no worse, nor any better since she she was very young. (Though massive temper tantrums seem a lot more out of place in a 38yr old than a 2yr old)
So I assume that her problems are neurological, and have to do with the way her brain was put together. I think my parents did the best job she could do raising a clearly problem / special needs child. Sure they made some small mistakes, but all parents do.
My sister feels that my mom is the cause of all her problems, and if only my mom had raised her better or made different raising choices, she'd not be sick now.
What stunned me the other day, is that my mom AGREES with my sister, and feels that if only she'd done things different my sister would be normal.
Am I right? Or is she? Bipolar is a physiological thing right? Not a result of upbringing?
