[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 192211, member: 3444"] What, that they all were turned loose and bred?! Sorry for being so glib... I don't think it's that simple. I DO believe that there are a lot of external factors affecting mental illness -- a more complex and stressful world with more triggers for anyone genetically predisposed. More chemicals in our environment. And the biggest of all... I've been to conferences where they talk about studies on the genetic expression in certain diseases and that for some disorders, the further along the family tree that it gets passed down, the earlier it begins to show. A sort of genetic anticipation. It would explain why bipolar that showed up in great grandpa in his 30's popped up in his grandson in his late teens and in difficult child 2 at age 8 or 9. [/QUOTE]
