You can find out: The inheritance of various mental conditions is very complex. You should seek the services of a genetic counselor. These professionals are usually available at women's obstetric and children's hospitals.

Using this site: You get the most from this site when you provide background information before asking a clear related question. Room for a response is limited & the specifics allow a focused response. What is the origin of your mental issues? Are they part of a genetic syndrome or the effect of trauma like cerebral palsy/stroke/or other issue. You are welcome to start over but this may be too complex for the site
