Regarding heredity of mental illnesses: how likely it is for me to get a mental illness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unsure: Some mental illness has hereditary roots but many other factors come in to play. With most of these disorders we are unsure what is the actual cause. The most important thing is to get early recognition and treatment. Talk it over with your health care provider.
