Gabrielle Carlson, MD, is professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and founded and directed the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry until 2013. Here she discusses the heightened risks for children of parents with bipolar disorder, which are real but counterintuitive.

Kids of parents with bipolar disorder are at higher risk for developing bipolar themselves—but the chances that they’ll develop another psychiatric disorder like ADHD, anxiety or depression is even higher. This fact has profound impacts on deciding on treatment plans and exploring diagnosis with these young people.

I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my YouTube channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
