Patient's question:
My mother's paternal uncle and my grandmother's mother have a family history of mental illness, and my older sister also developed schizophrenia during her university years. Is there a higher chance that I might develop a mental illness?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Mental illness is not only caused by organic brain lesions but also by adverse environmental influences in later life. As long as you are not affected by such adverse environmental influences, it will not lead to mental illness. Moreover, there are now traditional Chinese herbal medicines that can cure this disease. I hope you don't worry about it.
