Patient's question:
Please ask the expert: My husband's parents and maternal grandparents are healthy, but my husband's older brother suffers from schizophrenia. Recently, my husband's aunt's younger brother has also been diagnosed with schizophrenia. In this case, I am wondering if my child with my husband will be prone to inheritance? Are the two patients considered familial inheritance?First follow-up question: I just learned that my husband's mother experienced mental abnormalities when she was four months pregnant with her older brother. After medication, she recovered. After giving birth to her older brother, he developed schizophrenia around the age of 20. Additionally, my husband's uncle also suffered from mental illness, with symptoms lasting for over 10 years. After treatment, there were no lingering aftereffects. Regarding the boys in my husband's aunt's family,
Doctor's answer:
Hello! Nowadays, the pace of life is quite fast, and people are under great psychological pressure. Therefore, everyone must maintain a positive mindset, be tolerant towards others, and improve their psychological resilience. Otherwise, it is easy to develop mental health issues. Mental disorders are not all hereditary, so there is no need to be overly anxious. As long as you guide and educate your child properly, encourage them to interact and communicate with peers, avoid loneliness, and appropriately increase physical exercise to enrich their life, I believe your child can grow up healthily. Wishing you happiness!
