BBC NEWS | Health | Older fathers linked with bipolar

It doesn't put a number on the increased chance of experiencing this condition for children born of fathers in my age range, it only says: "The children of men 55 years and older were 1.37 times more likely to go on to be diagnosed with bipolar disorder than those of men aged 20 to 24." Given the likelihood in general is about 1%, this still seems quite a low risk to me.

And is being bipolar a "disorder" anyway? I think I'll leave that one alone.
