Are Mental Illnesses Hereditary ??????????!??!!?
Question by : are mental illnesses hereditary ??????????!??!!?
my grandpa & his brother had epilepsy . & I’m pretty my dad is either bipolar or depressed cuz he’s so dependent on alcohol & drugs ! & i my dad’s brother is doing bad things & hurting people & yet he has no remorse . maybe he’s just evil , but you’d have to be crazy & delusional to cause so many problems & feel like you’re an innocent angel who’s always the victim , when in reality it’s the opposite!!!
anyways i think i might be bipolar & i’m wondering if the fact that mental disorders & illnesses run in my dad’s family would that make it more likely & possible for me to have one?????!?!?
++++++++++++ IM PRETTY SURE +++++++++
“ALEX” I’m a hypochondriac & i’m almost positive i wasn’t born crazy but these days i think i’m going crazy cuz i think i’m crazy & i think i have every illness in the book …. so , i think that shipped has sailed unfortunately :'[ & i know it’s not good to self diagnose but 2 things that i am positive i have & have had for many years now : OCD & ANXIETY !!
“LIZ” yeah , my dad goes ballistic when he goes thru his withdrawals & he’s very sensitive & protective when it comes to his brother . & is also delusional thinking his brother is an angel , when he’s not ! a lot of bad things have happened to me ; traumatizing & embarrassing situations in grade school , family deaths , family problems arguments fights & my own personal problems. y’know it seems to me that everyone i ever loved passed away or just up & left due to certain circumstances & i’ve never seen them since o; unfortunately , i don’t know how to cope with pain & am very weak !
& i have loving , caring , beautiful mom , nana , uncle (mom’s bro) & bother who take care of me 🙂
” JUDY & CHARLIE ” i have known for many years that my dad isn’t gonna change. we gave him many chances & he just goes back to his old ways ~ & i do care for him cuz he i know he had a hard life ; his aunt , uncle , dad , & grandma all passed away years ago& his mom abandoned him. he’s lost a lot of good friends too . he’s just caused too much pain to my real family & i can never forgive him . i guess he can’t let go of his past & doesn’t know how to cope or deal with his emotions & as a result the only thing he loves is drugs & alcohol !

Yes, bipolar is hereditary. You got it from your crazy dad and his crazy a** family. I suggest watching Psycho to gain more knowledge of being crazy. Get on some meds before it gets worse. Hope this helps.

bipolar disorder is a pretty serious disorder..if he has it it would be reconized and have been dignosed long ago
its normally founds as young as 14 in someone
neeeeever ever ever self dignose yourself because you’ll subconsiously make the symtoms real to you and youll end up acting like you have them and convincing yourself you have it
if your worried about catching anything genetically, go see your doctor or start talking to a theripist maybe and see what their opinion is
but yes, if someone in your family has a mental disorder, your more likely to have one than someone who doesnt have it running in their family
