ARE MENTAL DISORDERS ALREADY INSIDE OUR GENES BEFORE BIRTH

PSYCHOLOGY OUTSIDE THE BOX

Do you know anyone who has ADHD, autism, severe anxiety disorder, major depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, or schizophrenia? The answer is almost certainly YES, that you have encountered one or likely more of these individuals. In some cases you may not have been aware of their underlying condition, but it was there.

Perhaps you’ve wondered if these people were born with these disorders already in the genes or DNA that they inherited from their mom and dad. The answer in all these cases is a definite YES. To some degree they are all hereditary but the story is not so simple or clear-cut. Some people with bad genes will never get the disorder while others will, even within the same family.
