Fans may not have seen this one coming (well, not really).

It looks like Jenelle Evans isn't the only one suffering from a disorder on the Teen Mom 2 cast, after Kailyn Lowry revealed in an interview with Starcasm that she, too, has bipolar disorder. 

"My mom is bipolar and it turns out I am too," Kailyn said.

Lowry discovered her diagnosis after deciding to go to counseling following a very heated argument with hubby Javi Marroquin and his family (which we will hopefully see during this season).

The details on their argument have not been discussed, but Kailyn wanted to offer a public mea culpa to viewers and everyone involved.

"I just want to publicly apologize in advance to my fans," Kailyn said, "and even though Javi and I have moved on from it, I want to say I'm sorry again to him and his family for letting my emotions get the best of me. I know how humiliating that is for them and I'm humiliated myself." Yikes! Can't wait to see what went down.

As for her bipolar diagnosis, Kailyn says she will soon be taking medication to help keep it under control.
