depression and bipolar disorders
Some of the possible symptoms of bipolar disorders include a really good mood that changes to bad quickly, difficulty to concentrate and increased "pleasure behaviours."

Yes. Children with one bipolar parent have a 30% chance of developing bipolar disorder. Even children of bipolar parents who do not develop bipolar disorder are at increased risk (compared to children who do not have a bipolar parent) for other psychopathology such as ADHD, learning disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, etc. Children with two bipolar parents are at an even greater risk of developing bipolar disorder.

Typical estimate for bipolar is about 3% of population, probably higher due to undiagnosed cases. Typical estimate for all mood disorders at some time in one's life (including isolated episodes) is about 10% of population.
