Question: Left or right handed, are we then bi-polar if we used both equaly, if anyone knows?

Interesting question but no, if one can use both hands equally they are classified as 'ambidexterous'. Hand preference is lateralized early during brain development (research shows typically before or by the age of 4), and has nothing to do with bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is a mental illness, with the most prevalent theories highlighting a chemical imbalance in the brain and a strong genetic component.

OK!

But in my case, since teacher hit ALWAYS a ruler on me when I used my left to write and forced me therefore to write right, and now I use BOTH hands, would that not make me bi-polar... possibly, BECAUSE of the TRAUMA I suffered?

What do you think?

Hugs!
