Bipolar disorder tied to mother’s flu in pregnancy

NEW YORK, May 11: Children born after being exposed to the flu during pregnancy may have a nearly four-fold higher risk of later developing bipolar disorder, according to a small new study. The senior researcher said the results can’t prove that a mother’s bout of flu while pregnant causes her child to develop the mental disorder, but the association does suggest that some cases might be prevented.
