Yeah, my family is like this, my dads side, but from personal assessment, i think it's exposure, AND the opposite, my aunt never had any hysterical attention and she became slightly derranged in her younger years. When you;'re older thoguh, you escape this adjectives, and the effects wear off.

Email me if you ever want to speak :)

I think it could be from either. Schizophrenia runs surrounded by my family, but I believe that all of my problems weren't from that but rather begin when I witnessed my father trying to commit suicide in front of me by slitting his wrists. I was a relatively normal kid up to that time that. I don't think necessarily you will develop mental problems just because its in your familial, but it does make you predisposed to.

Depression, bipolar, and other mental illnesses absolutely run in families.

For example, my grandfather and grandmother on my mother's side are bipolar. Their children are bipolar, and their grandchildren, including me, are also bipolar.

You can stop the cycle of alcoholism and drug verbal abuse by going to a doctor if you ever feel like your mood is spiraling out of control. Alcohol and drugs are use is used by relatives with mental illness as a form of self-medication, and if you DO end up beside a mental illness, then you can keep yourself from getting worse by getting on medication that your doctor prescribes.

How outmoded are you? Mental Illnesses like bipolar and depression usually present during puberty.
