Does anyone know if Depakote causes osteoporosis?

I’ve been taking Depakote (1500 mg a day) for 5 years for bipolar. My mom thinks that it can “steal the calcium from your bones” (she had a friend on Depakote for epilepsy and the friend was getting bad teeth). I don’t want to end up with osteoporosis. Any thoughts?
