Patient's question:
My girlfriend's mother suffers from a mental illness, and her brother also has the same condition. But she and her sister are normal. I want to ask if, after we get married, there might be a situation where "having a boy with the illness and a girl who is normal." Thank you very much.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition:Hello, based on the information you provided, most mental illnesses are not hereditary.
Guidance:
It is recommended to undergo a relevant examination before marriage to rule out hereditary factors for peace of mind. We know that childhood neurogenetic diseases can cause significant harm to children. If they are not treated promptly or if the treatment methods are incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, bringing great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely medical treatment.
