Two people having a disorder does not mean they’ll be the same person or even have the same issues/severity of issues. I would bring up that you’re concerned with your mood/mental health and ask to see a professional. You don’t have to necessarily say you suspect bipolar to her as she can’t diagnose you anyway. Just talk about it with your doctor if you’re able to see one and go from there. Bipolar is definitely better to be treated sooner rather than later

Yeah not everyone will act the same. I'm on meds and I'm pretty controlled. I feel like I can still live my life with little problems. Therapy can also help teach you how to not act on those actions. Don't feel like you are doomed because your dad had a hard time.
