Triggers are a wide and varied as the people who have it. People are triggered by memories of the past, for me one example is if someone is giving me the silent treatment, bullies, yells at me it reminds me of how my father used to treat me, this brings on the fight or flight response and triggers off all my feelings of worthlessness....it can be environmental long wet wintery weather can trigger of my depression to counteract that I have painted my house in bright warm colors....the list continues someone who is bipolar should keep a diary of situations which resulted in this feeling or that so they can learn what their triggers are and how they can best avoid them. It is usually only a threat to the person who has the condition as when you spiral down you become consumed by thoughts of freedom from the debilitating and ongoing onslaught of thoughts that you are worthless, useless etc etc etc through death.
It can be treated successfully see a doctor!

It can be treated absolutely and very well with medication and treatmentand is not a threat if it is treated. I am not sure what triggers it but it could be genetic as far as who gets it...also I have learned that it sometimes gets worse in the winter and can be related so Seasonal Defective Dissorder or SAD. Only a trainned professional can help.

bipolar is a chemical imbalance in the brain ... it is believed to be genetic.
yes!! it can be treated with the right combination of medication. my son is bipolar and takes medication and is doing very well.
there are a lot of famous people who are bipolar ... but because they are on medication .. you'd never know it.
talk to a psychiatrist ... they are able to do amazing things these days.

I don't know what causes it but a person needs to be under the supervision of a doctor if they have it.
