I posted an earlier question regarding Wilsons Disease
That was not the answer I was looking for.  I know all of that.  I would like to know if the Wilson's Disease has or had anything to do with me being Bipolar?  Thank you

As listed in the previous response, psychiatric problems can be one of the characteristics of Wilson disease. Psychiatric problems, such as depression, bipolar disorder, mood swings, have been documented in cases of Wilson disease. Hope this clarifies the information.
