Will mental illness be inherited by the next generation?

Patient's question:

Wondering if it will be inherited by the son's next generation

Doctor's answer:

The relatives of patients with mental illness are high-risk groups, but some may never relapse in their lifetime. Currently, we cannot provide a clear answer to this issue.
We know that genetic metabolic diseases in children cause significant harm to the child. If left untreated or if the treatment is not appropriate, the disease progresses rapidly, posing great harm to the patient. Therefore, it is crucial to seek professional medical treatment promptly and receive standardized care. This is the key to managing the condition effectively.
