What Is Bipolar II (2)?
3. Causes
It is not known exactly what causes bipolar II. There are some factors that are closely linked with the condition, however. One of these is genetics, and people who have a history of mental health conditions in the family are at a higher risk of developing such a condition themselves.
Another potential factor appears to be biological differences and the structure of the patient’s brain can be abnormal in some way. Regardless, people with bipolar II disorder typically have an imbalance in certain hormones in their brains. Certain environmental factors such as the surroundings the patient grew up in are another potential contributing factor.
