A member asked:
I have a lot of mental disorders in my relatives, so how high are my chances of joining their ranks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minimal: Unless you want to join their ranks. New research indicates that genetic predisposition accounts for only 30% of a person's probability of having something manifest. The rest is environment. So eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, creating boundaries and fixing ways to not overreact to stress can all be immensely helpful.
