Although this is an estimate that needs further study and refinement and depends on the accuracy of the data you provide, this risk calculator is more accurate for offspring of parents with Bipolar Disorder who are adolescents, or young adults, but not small children. This calculator is only an estimate of 5-year, and 10-year risk, based on research data and has a relatively wide margin of error, and does not replace clinical assessment. This risk calculator is not intended for use among those whose parent does not have a confirmed history of Bipolar Disorder. It has not been studied in other at-risk or clinical populations to date.
