Again, 85%, while a very high number for heritability is not 100%. What that means is that there is no single gene or identified gene cluster for bipolar disorder.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
What this means is that people with bipolar disorder very likely have a gene, or more typically it's going to be a set of genes that creates a susceptibility for bipolar disorder to present itself.
is that the genetic contribution to bipolar disorder is very, very high. That is the heritability of bipolar disorder is 85%.
