A member asked:
Is it a bad idea to have a baby with someone who has a history of mental illness in his family?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Really: None of us have a totally " clean" family medical history, so there is always a risk of something. And just because there is a history, it certainly not mean the children will have the problem.
