She says that bipolar illness isn't 100% driven by genetics and that it's not at all uncommon for identical twins to not have the same illness. She suggested trying Google . I did and found this: "Since identical twins share the exact genetic make-up, if bipolar were purely genetic, all identical twins would both have bipolar. However, these studies have shown that if one identical twin has bipolar, there is only a 40 to 70 percent chance that the other will also." This is in no way intended to be any type of a medical diagnosis or advice but I thought I'd share what I learned. @W2DR Sorry for the late reply. This is great info and I will pursue the info. Thank you very much. If your wife comes up with more info please let me know.Maybe it's because of his mental disease that he decided to quit college one semester and a few courses short of graduating from a prestigious university with a highly regarded computer science program (UC Berkeley). He says, he doesn't need a degree. 😞 Part of the problem is that he's earning good money and has been interning since high school eg. Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, Lyft, Google, Bloomberg, etc. He and his twin were also good enough to play in Carnegie Hall and also earn black belts in internationally recognized Olympic sports. So yeah, I'm concerned that they and he specifically might 'crash' early. For what it's worth, his identical twin went in Berkeley too, graduated and went to work for a medical research university. But after publishing in a medical journal and working for only one year in UC San Francisco (a prestigious hospital) he did something also 'crazy'. He quit. Now he works as a clinical research in a place that shocked us his parents.... in clinical research in of all places... Facebook (now Meta). What the heck does Facebook have anything to do with clinical research right? He said he can't talk about his job too so we're at a lost. I hope you're wife is correct that bi-polarism isn't driven by genetics; and that, it doesn't necessarily occur in identical twins.. Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space. Software: latest Windows 10 Pro, P3Dv4.5+, FSX Steam, and lots of addons (100+ mostly Orbx stuff).
