Bipolar disorder tied to mother's flu in pregnancy
http://news.yahoo.com/bipolar-disord...205640312.html

For the new study, Brown's group looked for a connection between flu exposure and children's bipolar diagnoses
in data from a study that involved soon-to-be mothers living in Alameda County, California, between 1959 and 1966.

Of the children exposed to the flu, about 9 percent were later diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
That compared to about 3 percent of the kids who were not exposed.

Interesting.....
My mom was in the hospital with the flu and just barely 7 months pregnant. She had a coughing fit and I made my grand appearance.

Hi, Abbie,

I wish we know more how this works.

(IF I asked my mom she would would never admit to being sick, smoking, drinking, or even taken an aspirin.

She did tell me about how had heard about someone's child getting German measles and how she stayed away from the.
