Could use your help docs! my dad is bipolar and schizophrenic. so does that mean i might have it? is it hereditary?

Hereditary worries: The research suggests that both are hereditary, which means that there's the probability that it is genetically transmitted. But it also depends on environmental circumstances as well as to whether a person manifests or becomes actively bipolar or schizophrenic. Consider some counseling so that you can manage stress to help with your worries and to prevent what you can, and to get more education.

If you are experiencing any symptoms causing you concern first please have a complete physical examination to know if you have an illness. If not, your medication should be managed by a Psychiatrist. If you are not confident in your Doctor please see another for a second opinion. Please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help.
