I’ve seen the chart, for depression, where there isn’t enough of a certain cell or something, so people get depression.
But I’m curious about what it is that’s going on inside the mind with bipolar disorder that is causing it.

Causes of Bipolar Disorder: The Basics
Bipolar Disorder Causes
The exact cause of bipolar disorder has not been discovered, but there are significant genetic components.
Bipolar disorder may result from a chemical imbalance within the brain. The brain’s functions are controlled by chemicals called neurotransmitters. An imbalance of one of these neurotransmitters, such as norepinephrine, may cause bipolar disorder. When levels of this chemical are too high, mania occurs. When levels of norepinephrine drop below normal levels, a person may experience depression.
