the two most common (or most commonly talked about) mental health issues out there today are A.D.D. & depression. & even if the diseases aren't opposites, the medicine taken for them are (anti-depressants are downers & a.d.d. med's are uppers). so i wonder if that will ultimately lead to bi-polar to become far more common.

I think our medical industry is partially to blame for the rise of sensory and mental disorders.
All this "jump the gun" action for immediately prescribing medications and vaccinations from a young age is wreaking havoc on people's bodies, nervous, and immune systems.
I'd say anything is possible.

yes, i truly believe there will be a greater amount of people in the future to get diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, but if you really stop and think about it, everyone thinks people are bi-polar now, what about back in the 1920's, 30's, 40's and so on, people then too were bi-polar but never sought treatment for it, we are so advanced in todays world and medicine to be dealing with these mental conditions, hope i helped...

Both bipolar disorder and ADD are considered genetically transferred disorders. (My son has both!). So based on that, and based on the fact that this generation has the most diagnosed cases of ADD & bipolar disorder in history, I would have to say yes, the probability of a continuing rise in cases of ADD & bipolar disorder. Hopefully, we'll also have better meds (or other options) to treat these illnesses. They are not a picnic for anyone.

medicine is not a game but its important the bipolar comes commenly from my opinion as a cause of bad economic status and ignoring the others for the personality so they try to find other way to express about them selfs ( seeking attention )
