Answers: what causes the ups and downs? why does it often develop in the teen years?

No one knows what the cause of bipolar disorder is. Something is wrong with the brain, and the regulation of emotions, but no one really knows what the exact problem is, or why/how the medications that treat bipolar disorder work to control moods. Bipolar disorder can start at any age, but most commonly starts at high school or college age (late teens, early 20's). For me, it started when I was seven years old. It seems that certain people are predisposed to develop the illness, which must be genetic, but other factors such as stress or addiction can trigger episodes of the disease. Other times, though, episodes start for no apparent reason and are of random duration and intensity, and moods may be up, down, or both at the same time (a mixed episode).

I suggest you to take a look on net in your language, wikipedia

Bipolar tends to run in families and it's nearly certain to have a genetic component. It's thought that a stressful event triggers it. Puberty can be stressful, so that might be the trigger. Science is still trying to figure out what all goes on in the brain, but in real simple terms neurotransmitters, electrons, and neurons become over excited during mania and under excited during depression.

it is rather a formation of depression -anxiety disorder,

different from normal depression genetical factors are more efficent here.A certain chemistry in the berin causes it and doctors try to cure it with "lithium"

most psychological disorders develop in teens or late teens because the development and connection of certain parts in the brain comes to an end...(thats why in adulthood it is a bit more difficult to learn certain things)

Bipolar disorder is a chemical imbalance in the brain. Bipolar illnesses are not cureable but they are treatable.
