What Are The Causes
Biological

Environment and Stress
Environmental factors such as undergoing a major life event or crisis and experiencing high levels of stress may precipitate a higher chance of you developing bipolar disorder.
Social
Substance abuse: Substance abuse may also cause bipolar disorder.
How It Is Treated

Treatment comes in two main forms:
Psychological treatments: Involves using therapeutic techniques which can help manage the anxiety.
Medication: There is evidence to suggest that people with an anxiety disorder may have chemical imbalances in their brain. Medications can restore balance.
