The DSM-5-TR lists the following causes of bipolar disorder 1 and 2:
Genetics: Bipolar disorder is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and
environmental factors. Studies have shown that people with a family history of
bipolar disorder are more likely to develop the disorder themselves.
Brain chemistry: People with bipolar disorder may have imbalances in certain brain chemicals,
such as dopamine and serotonin. These imbalances may contribute to the
symptoms of bipolar disorder.
Environmental factors: Stressful life events, such as the death of a loved one, a divorce, or a job loss,
may trigger the onset of bipolar disorder. Traumatic experiences, such as physical
or sexual abuse, may also increase the risk of developing bipolar disorder.
Substance abuse: Alcohol and drugs can trigger or worsen the symptoms of bipolar disorder.
Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as thyroid problems or head injuries, may
increase the risk of developing bipolar disorder.

above are thought to play a role in the development of the disorder.
