Mental Health Matters

 

  Q. Both me & my partner has either cyclothymia or Bipolar2 disorder, what is the risk of any mood disorder in children.

  A. It is higher than if neither of you had these maladies, but not so high that I would advise against having children. There are no specific numbers to give you nor studies I know about.
