Is Mental Illness Genetic???
Andrea wibbled
Jacqui wrote I might be NT but my husband, father-in-law, brother-in-law and possibly my son aren't. It strikes me that despite your experiences you know bugger all about most things, Andrea. You persist in jumping to conclusions without reading carefully, you spread malicious accusations and give incorrect information without doing any research. And if you think that all neurological issues are the same thing and that AS is a mental illness you clearly know bugger all about your own condition. Ok where in my post did I actually say apergers was a mental illness? Why mention it at all in response to the OP? It's so wildly off from what she asked that you might as well have mentioned sickle cell anaemia or red hair, both of which are inheritable. Mentioning it in response to a question specifically about mental illness suggests extremely strongly that you class it as such. I am definitely not the only person to read your post that way. I do not spread malicious (A bit strong wasn't it?) accustaions either. So did you or did you not post supporting the accusation that Linz was a man, when her stalker was active? Despite the fact that she has been posting in MKP since 1999 at least? This is NG! people share what they know, you do get people who research their answers, but I believe life experience is far better than some study that was done. So advising new mothers to feed formula as well as breastmilk is a better idea than any research-supported evidence to the contrary? ********. If people wanted answers based on reasearch they can use a search engine. Believe me I know more about it than you ever will - I have lived with it all my life. Just watching someone with it is not the same as being aspergers trust me. 1. You haven't known you were AS all your life. Almost no one over the age of twenty has. 2. Most AS people are blithely unaware of some aspects of how they come across to others. It's part of the diagnosis, FFS. 3. I elided when I said I might be NT. I'm not, but I'm not AS either. I haven't spent the last 14 years or so reading very widely in the area and building quite a base of knowledge on matters neurological for nothing. When it affects you you do your research. And you don't go around shrieking about it without appearing to know what you're talking about. Or do you? Jac |

wrote: Just wanting to know If mental illness is genetic? The father of my unborn baby, i have just found out he has severe mental problems. I dont know exactly what his condition is but it is very likely to be like multiple personalities. Can this be passed on to my baby? Some are. My paternal grandmother had schizophrenia (she has passed now), and that can be passed down. I had genetic counseling for spinal bifida, and I asked about my grandmother. I was told so long as I don't have it, the chances my child would get it lessens significantly. My dad doesn't have it, and I don't have it. So the risk to my children is small. I have no idea about MPD. I would get genetic counseling. They would be able to give you a better answer. -- Daye Momma to Jayan and Leopold See Jayan and Leo: http://www.aloofhosting.com/jayleo/ Updated 28 Feb 2004 |

"Andrea" wrote Welcome to killfile ) What has Jacqui said that is untrue or otherwise a reason to killfile her? You *do* persist in jumping to conclusions without reading carefully, you *did* spread incorrect and malicious accusations about a regular poster here (and on another ng at that!) and you frequently give incorrect information without any basis in fact other than your own experience which, despite your having 5 children, is actually limited in the grand scale of things. She only got in before I did. Jean |
