Is there anything that one can do to prevent bipolar disorder? I am having anxiety sometimes, and I am afraid that it might turn out in bipolar disorder.

Anxiety does not produce bipolar disorder. Bipolar is recurrent episodes of mania and depression, nothing to prevent, if it occurs have to treat.

Dear lybrate-user, Bipolar disorder runs in families. If you have your close blood relatives with bipolar disorder, you can take preventive measures. Otherwise every anxiety will not be bipolar disorder. However start writing mood chart (download from net or contact me on private consultation) DAILY early morning mood. It has a row for anxiety and a row for irritability also. Hours of sleep also will be recorded. After 3 months consult a psychiatrist with mood chart so that you know whether you have a risk of bipolar disorder. Prevention will be planned depending upon your risk factors.
