My mom has had anxiety and depression since a young age. My grandpa specifically instilled so much hurt in her. Mentally, emotionally, verbally and I believe physically. It was so hard for my mom to stand up to them, even at an older age. I stood up to them when I needed to defend myself and my Mom. She thanked me for being so strong, but of course, old school thinks its being disrespectful. Its not. This is where alot of mental illness comes from qhen you pass down such awful things onto your children when they are small. Ive had mild anxiety since I was 10 when my parents divorced, seen a therapist for awhile and it helped. But August of this year, severe anxiety, panic attacks and depression started. Ive been through alot in my life so everything came out like a geyser. Definitely slow down, love yourself, take care of yourself.
I'm in almost the same circumstances as your mom, and I'm fighting an anxiety/panic attack as I write this. I just want to say that I think she's incredibly strong for living as long as she has, with those feelings and their consequences - I'm speaking from experience when I say i know how horrible it is living with it day in and day out. I still live at home, and I dont think I'd survive living by myself. I cant travel at all and I'm agoraphobic. So, yeah I think your mom is super strong for managing to get free and live her own life! ❤😊
I can't even begin to express how much I appreciate your videos. They have really provided me with a lot of insight to help me manage my anxiety, as well as destigmatizing the idea of going to therapy. I've been doing so much better mentally since I started watching your videos. I'm so grateful that there are people like you that have a passion for helping people with mental struggles😊
I remember when as a 14 year old, I was feeling down for about a week. My mom knew I was feeling bad, and took times to talk with and support me. At one point, she said, "Oh, depression runs in the family." I thought, "Oh, great." I did have a hard life as a working adult, but since I retired, I've taken steps to cope with depression. I'd say I'm happier now than I was since leaving childhood.
My father had anxiety and panic attacks, and his mother did as well. Four of 7 of his siblings also had it. I and all of my siblings but 2 out of 11 have it also! Three of us were severe to the point of becoming agoraphobic, and the rest to a lesser degree and unfortunately turned to alcohol to cope. That said, several first cousins have it as well as my children and many niece's and nephews. For us, having a large family gave my therapist an easy task of determining it's definitely hereditary in our cases. That being said, CBT, mindfulness, meditation, NLP, and so many other great 'tools' are extremely helpful. Unfortunately, after 30 plus years of this, it has never gone away. Not for any of us. I'm grateful for these videos because every single day these practices are a must for me. Thank you for all you do on this channel! Forever thankful for you! ♡
I’ve been understanding and putting a name to a lot about my limiting beliefs and inner wounds from my childhood. My Mum has residual grief from before I was born and she has general anxiety. She has had numerous breakdowns throughout my childhood that I had to witness. I developed social anxiety that starting in primary school, because of how my Mum would act towards me. This was not in my genes but is how I was raised, in a house with a glass half full attitude and arguments that were too much for my sensitive nature. I developed diabetes at 16, this was because my nervous system took on all that heaviness in the environment. I’m breaking the limiting beliefs for myself and my children, I’ve got a better understanding of what children need to thrive. 💖 Thank you for your channel, you are a source of information for many.
The terms “anxiety” and “depression” are big buckets that encompass many different actual conditions. That’s why so many different therapies are needed to deal with them. “Treatment resistant” whatever means the doc is giving you a treatment that works for something different than what you actually have. Tracking down genetic predispositions is going to be hugely helpful in tuning a treatment to what actually ails you.
Thanks, Emma, for another informative, insightful, and caring video. You mention looking into family history, but that is sometimes a cloudy area, as people in previous generations often didn't discuss or even acknowledge mental and emotional struggles of their own or their relatives. At least that has been my experience. Only though many years of introspection, therapy, and reflection on family behaviors over the years have I realized that it's not 'just me.' Thank you for continuing to lessen the stigma of mental health issues for everyone and their families!
I know that the message at the end is that you can make it better for you children, but I don't think that's always true. I don't think it's always a good decided to have kids if you struggle with mental illness. For me, as someone with mental health issues and the majority of my family has even more severe mental illness, having children was a hard no for me. I refuse to saddle a children with the burdens I carry or to pass down the trauma I received from having mentally ill family and loved ones. I can't speak for every person with a mental illness, but I do think it's important to validate the decision to not have biological children in the same way we would respect the same decision being made for other diseases with genetic factors, such as cancer. It isn't inherently wrong to have or want kids, but it is something that people should devote a lot of time and thought into before committing to it.
Wow. Amazingly honest reflection on this topic. Think it through is important. All though my intuition unfortunately tells me that you thought this through and chose not to have children, and others didn't think it through and had children. And maybe it should have been the other way around. That's just a compliment to you for your reflection here.
My dad and I are almost identical personality wise and mental health wise, it’s scary. My little brother was diagnosed with adhd and autism a few years ago, and since then I’ve been researching and have been diagnosed with inattentive adhd, on top of the SAD diagnosis I already had. I’ve been really struggling with my adhd as of late and he’s been helping me through it, and most of the advice he gives is through relatable stories, or because he went through the same thing. He’ll be telling me about something that happened to him or how he used to act in certain situations and I’ll sit there stunned because he just described almost exactly what I’m feeling. Funny thing too, I remember when I first brought up my symptoms when I was looking to get diagnosed, he said, “well if that’s adhd, then I’ve got it too, kid” tldr, my dad’s brain got copy and pasted into me
My mom and dad both have anxiety and depression, and it's pretty bad for both of them a lot of the time. Sometimes (a lot maybe) I feel angry at them for having 4 whole children knowing full well how bad their mental health is. All 4 of us are mentally ill in different ways, myself having the worst impact on my life from it as I have agoraphobia, GAD, panic disorder and depression and have been involuntarily hospitalized multiple times, had to drop out of highschool and now I'm on benzos yay lol. Had no significant trauma and I was showing signs as early as pre-k, it's often really heartbreaking for me to have this be the only shot at life I get.
I started having OCD and depression when i was 8, maybe 9 years old. I didn't have the best childhood, but it definitely wasn't so bad to explain why these terrible disorders developed. There are people who have a childhood 20 times worse than mine who don't develop mental illness. I am convinced that genetics played an essential part in it. As far as i understand, current research strongly implies that epigenetics play a key role. The environment, e.g. being bullied, seems to change the epigenome, which then influences how genes are expressed. Epigenetics seem to be the mediator between genes and the environment. That would explain why some people with similar genes get a disorder and some don't. Their environment differs, which changes their epigenome, which changes their gene expression. In my opinion we should research gene therapy for psychiatric disorders much more. I know it still sounds like science fiction to many people, but it's becoming more and more realistic. Scientists already used gene therapy to strongly reduce depression in mice and - what's even more interesting - only a few months ago another research team used epigenome editing to reverse changes in mice's epigenome caused by traumatic events. When they did that, the mice's anxiety seemed to return to normal levels. Imagine a world in which no one had to suffer from depression, anxiety disorder etc. I really hope this will become a treatment option in the future.
This is soo interesting! Keeping the role of genetics/epigenetics in mind when it comes to mental illnesses can really help understanding the struggles (and their roots) better, I think. Thank you so much for sharing 💙
Really really great communication about this difficult topic! It's really thought through and biases are left out. Nuances are highlighted ❤ Will use this for some of my classes. Thank you so much.
Interesting! I have figured this was the case, but was never truly sure. My family has a longstanding history of ADHD, myself included. I think I read somewhere that a trigger with ADHD is neglect in one's childhood, which sadly also makes sense. Anyway! Thank you for sharing this 😁
I believe OCD and hoarding disorder also have a high heritability factor. While researching for my moms quite severe OCD and hoarding disorder, I also found out there's a much higher co-morbidity for these disorders.
I have found a lot of value in what little of your content I have consumed thus far. This one in particular is interesting and a bit life-affirming. I have a child who is 15 months old, but let me tell you a bit about his parents. We were both raised in trauma, which impacted our long-term mental health. My trauma is severe enough that diagnostics cannot currently tell us if I have ADHD or Autism, because those conditions share too many similarities to PTSD and especially severe PTSD. My spouse has severe ADHD in addition to his PTSD. We worried that having a child would be reckless as it is unknown how many factors we can control to reduce their impact on our child. The first step in finding a healthier balance in our approach was to look at the propensity for genetic contribution. It is unlikely that our child will experience the same trauma we did as our circumstances are significantly different and we have both continued to put in work towards recovering from that trauma, but as ADHD is less impacted by environment we knew we would need to be prepared for that. At 9 months old our child started to exhibit very clear symptoms of severe ADHD. When we mentioned this to the pediatrician it was dismissed, and we assume that is because they are accustomed to parents guided by emotion rather than research and logic. We don't feel like failures that our child may have ADHD . . . unless we refuse to acknowledge it and thus refuse to accommodate it. So we began researching ADHD friendly living and organizing methods (How To ADHD is a FANTASTIC channel). We went from a child with erratic energy and an insane hyper-focus (if our child is interested in something there is no way to distract away from that interest regardless of how much time has passed, which is a substantial difference from the attention span of most neurotypical toddlers) to a child who was able to move around independently and communicate the stimuli required to function in that moment. This is not to say that our child will not later develop some kind of anxiety or other mental illness, but because we know and understand the nature of generational trauma we anticipate integrating mental health care into our child's routine healthcare around the age of 5. This is an exercise in saying "where your parents fail there are healthy options to make up for it." Our job as parents is not to protect our children from everything, but to understand where risk needs to be mitigated and teach them how to manage that risk on their own over time. Our ultimate mindset about it is that it is our job to prepare our child for a world where we do not exist. We are older parents and the likelihood our child will lose us earlier than peers the same age lose their parents is significantly greater. So we need to teach adaptive skills and provide reliable resources for long-term success. The end. lol
Isnt the best prevention good and proper emotional education and emotional functionality including understanding that all people have a limit, when it comes to the amount of stress and overfunctioning they can handle? eg. Understanding ones own protective emotions and not ignoring them but functionally using them to protect ones health? Oh, and raising children to have a good self-image (no shaming).
Thank you dear for making this video. I met with many doubts about genetic and disorder ,you cleared my queries. I think genes never changes but trying to be better is excellence....
Great video as always. I was a bit confused for some time because heritability of schizophrenia is up to 90% but you say that a child has 10% chance of having schizophrenia is their parent has it. So I looked into a quite confusing definition of heritability and the way understand it is that if you have 2 people identical genetically (twins) the chance that they will suffer from the same mental illness is heritability. So it's not a chance but more of a how much of a role genes themselves play with these illnesses. Quite interesting but confusing. Chance of passing on a trait is called heredity
I agree, I thought that was confusing too. Didn’t think that was right when she said only ten percent chance of getting from a parent. Didn’t make sense
@@MultiSignlanguageOf all the people with schizophrenia, 90% inherited it to some extent. That’s looking at those who already have it. Looking at all people who have a parent with it, only 10% of them end up developing schizophrenia.
❤ Great video. But I am shocked that anorexia and bulimia are so strongly affected by genes. I always thought it was societal pressures and body dysmorphia and the fallout from childhood abuse.
Me too! I wasn’t expecting that. My sister and I both struggle with eating disorders, hers was more extreme. I did think it was due to family dysfunction and it was our coping mechanism. We both struggled a lot throughout our lives.
Doctor's I don't believe really have figured out how the brain completely works when it comes to psychological things but it will be really nice when ever they do
Hey. I really like the topics you are looking at and talking about. Really well explained, compassionate and you make it easier to understand some really complex issues. Would you consider at a point breaking down for me, and of course others the bipolar disorder? I guess I just would like to understand those people better, and I like your explanations. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. With best regards Eva from Danmark
There is absolutely no way heritability is that high. Just looking at ADHD and anxiety, which have exploded in the last few decades, there's no such thing as a gene that can become expressed so strongly in such a short time. Just like with doctors trying to say myopia is a genetic condition, when it's quite obviously environmental. The same applies to mental illness. When you grow up in a family of anxious people, you pick up that anxiety. When you grow up in a family of highly educated people who developed myopia, you pick up the same indoor, close work habits and develop myopia. Someone who explains this really well -- and, I would say, the foremost expert on the topic -- is Gabor Mate. He makes the link between childhood trauma, and ADHD as a way to distract yourself and cope with the painful experiences, very clear, drawing on his decades of experience as a psychologist helping addicts.
What if what one has to accept is that one will be living with depression for all of one’s life? It can be terrible frustrating to be perpetually told one will get better and to feel one has let family, friends, and doctors down by not getting better. And what can those of us who already have a mental illness do with this information about genetics? I thoroughly agree that we all need to work on preventing illnesses through safe homes, good nutrition, etc., but what if that horse has already left the barn?
It's nature and nurture. There's no clear answer how much is one or the other in general. But some specific mental disorders, like schizophrenia, do have a measurable genetic factor.
I understand and appreciate that mental illness heritability is nuanced and lots of factors play a role, but when I look at those in my family with chronic depression (both my grandmothers, one grandfather, my aunt on my father's side, my mother, and now me) it makes me not want to have children.
I'm a type 1 diabetic. So glad to hear your remark there, as this has long been my conviction: my parents caused my lifelong disease. I believe it's no coincidence that type 1 diabetics are at a much higher risk of developing mental health disorders like depression.
Not sure how your parents could cause an autoimmune disease (type one has no lifestyle component, just a wayward immune s system that thinks your insulin cells are foreign to the body) but if you are talking diabetes 2 then yes lifestyle is the main problem.
@@WhiteRabbitAnne Sure, let me explain. Psychological abuse causes a chronic elevation of cortisol. A chronic elevation of cortisol causes insulin resistance (scientifically verified), requiring the insulin-producing beta cells to produce more insulin in order to assimilate circulating blood glucose. Chronic over-production of insulin by the beta cells damage said beta cells (scientifically verified). It stands to reason that this effect could in fact permanently destroy beta cells, resulting in type 1 diabetes mellitus.
@@Emile-philia or it can also be, on this case, a variation on a gene. It's also scientifically proven that some people will have changes in the nucleotides of a gene, also called variants or mutations. Also scientifically proven, people can suffer from chromosome abnormalities that can cause a myriad of negative efects on people. but in cases like the one mentioned, enviroment is most likely the case for the development of diabetes type 2, due to lifestyle (as it's pointed out in the video - the diet such subject had followed during his life of periods of its life was inadequate for his health and prompted the decease - if that was due to psychological health issue (like an eating disorder, even provoked by bullying, is not possible to state as there is lack of information for such statement and such condition is not inside of the framework intended by the video - even if it was, as annerkin629 mentioned, how would be possible for your parents to be the cause of a selfimmune disease? As scientifical literature show to this day, "there isn't a single autoimmune gene [...] Autoimmune diseases, for the vast majority of cases, do not fit any simple pattern of inheritance. On the contrary, they are thus considered polygenic - multifactorial - diseases)." when you meant pychological abuse you're also giving a clue, as the ANS, mainly the symphtic nervous system will be in action, which may cause in some point of extreme an augment concentration of sugar on the blood stream (through the pancreatic production). this is also because of the work of your endocrinous system (trought the hippothalamus communicating with the hypophysis - which will release a hornone called corticotrofina (ACTH) wich in way will be the cause of the supra-renal glands to release the "stress hormone", cortisol. Anyway, if such abbuses occured and stress related disorders pop-up you should have seen a theraphist, as they might very well avoided a enviromental cause (you're lifestyle and diet) which most likely was the biggest influence regarding your diabetics. Cheers. Hope you now keep taking care of yourself, we are the most important beings to ourselves - because without ourselves there will also be no others to take care or be found of :)
@@Maddog-xc2zv I'm sorry but you're talking about type 2 diabetes and I'm talking about type 1 diabetes here. Type 1 diabetes is generally not attributable to dietary or lifestyle factors and is also conventionally referred to as juvenile-onset diabetes, which is to say in my own case this occurred nearly 20 years ago, in other words it would seem misguided to refer me to a therapist for aforementioned abuse in so far as having any meaningful effect on my type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes has no firmly established etiology, instead the conventional supposition is that it's caused by auto-immunity and this is exactly what I'm putting into question. My condition is very well cared for, thank you very much.
Please understand this is what some scientist say. This is not proven 💯 Emma did mention one could still be happy with proper care of oneself. Just because it runs in your family doesn’t mean one is going to get it. I feel epigentics are awakened or turned on with life experiences, environment etc in some cases not always. That is the point here Not Always. There is hope! Remember our thought process plays a big part. If one thinks there is no hope in curing anxiety etc then there won’t be. I believe there are some mental disorders that are harder to treat like BD or Sch and medication is needed but Dep, anx, and so many others that are treatable. Like Emma mentioned there is a bigger picture. There is still a lot to research and science advances through out the years. Therapy, nutrition, exercise, mental thought and family support are very helpful. Our brains are complex and marvelous that there is still so much to research. Like Emma has mentioned “break the chain”. 🙏
So, are ADHD and Autism now considered mental illnesses? Weren’t they were thought to be neuro-divergences in brain functioning, sensory processing and cognitive development? Lumping them in with depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorders somewhat muddies the topic of mental illness heritability, do they not?
They are neurodivergence. Autism is spectrum and to me this is not a defect put a different way how a brain functions. Autism is not a mental illness in my opinion.
I broke up with my fiancé because he has a mental illness and he refuses to get help. I was worried that I would end up being a single mother of children with his mental problems. I saved myself so much drama...
If you don’t mind the question. Did you think he would leave/abandon the family, or end up dead either voluntarily or involuntarily? And do you consider non pharmaceutical methods, Ike therapy, to be seeking help.
@@HappyLife-nf7wb thank you so much! It's been years and I still feel guilty sometimes, because I grew up being the problem solver in my family. I based my value on my hability to help others, but at the end of the day, I had to admit that I was getting only leftovers and I wanted the full meal. I still haven't found a suitable partner, sadly.
@@pandorasmagicbox Don't worry about not finding the one yet. Just imagine being stuck in a relationship when you almost 100% suffer mentally and physically. It's wayyyyyy better to live your life alone in 90% solitude and 10% loneliness. Yes feeling lonely obviously occurs at times but it's nothing compared to the immense scar for life ❤️ Just try to be the best version of yourself and when the time comes, you'll be ready 😀
@@rafaelzengo5534 he said a few times that he wanted to kill himself. He also had the habit to drive fast and climb to the roof at night. I asked him to see a therapist and he did, but he acted as if everything was fine and I was the one in need of help. He never recieved a proper treatment because the therapist didn't know what was going on.
I have been to all types of Dr's next test is vertigo or vestibular nerve..one neuro surgeon says I have 2 superficial herniated disks I have cervical spondylosis, but wish I could be told where is my dizziness coming from and how to heal it I need to be able to drive again and work, feel depressed as my life is homebound and when I try to get in car and go somewhere i panic!!! Because i had vertigo driving and almost got into a big accident, 6 months on this journey with Dr's and nobody can tell me whats the cause... i also have a pineal cyst and neurologist says its not cause of my symptoms, i feel I am being medically gaslighted...my constant symptoms are being causes by something.... herniated disk, lumbar issues, or brain
@@anthonyturton8091 have appt on Dec 23rd. They said they are going to do a spinning chair test, another test is a moving platform. Neurosurgeon said pineal cyst is not causing my symptoms ...eventhough a neuro surgeon in S CAROLINA Dr Patel which is about the 8th neuro surgeon that operates on pineal cysts...states even small cysts can cause symptoms...but my neuro surgeon states its too small
Been having vértigo for years on and off, now more frequent. I am dizzy and off balance 24/7 around June of this year I was driving and had to pull over while headed to my sisiter in laws as heart rate was out of control and my legs and arms started to tremble and shake, felt a pressure in my chest, after that day my legs and arms still feel weak and shaky at times
To support healthy brain development and potentially reduce the risk of mental illness in babies, use DHA, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, and Folate before and during pregnancy. (Consult your doctor and pass on the information.)
Not even twins sons of twins are that much determined by genetics (with exceptions of some treatable ocurrable depressions if the parents or one parent had history of hving it (Ahmadzadeh, Eley, Plomi, Dale, Lester, Oliver, McMillan, McAdams."Children of the Twins Early Development Study (CoTEDS): A Children-of-Twins Study" it's a great start), if they in fact get depressed which, only from the genetical standpoint, can become less of a threat with time going by). It's proven by studies of twins that the environment is much more prevalent than genetic prevalence in mental health. Take two twins, put them on different schools, or even the same, and they'll turn out much more different than thought before, that genetics would almost determine even the personality of subjects. That is not just incorrect, even based with the few scratches we're starting to make in the last years on neurosicences (I would recommend the reading for those who think I'm pointing out unverified data of Connors, Bear, and Paradiso, "Neurosicence: Exploring the brain - 4th ed." or/and Kandel, Koester, Mack, and Siegelbaum, "Principles of Neural Science - 6th ed."), but undermines the efforts many researchers in recent times have made to prove genetics may condition our brain but not determine, like positivism was still a thing on science nowadays, the way our brain is wired. Genetic heritage starts to paint a frame of ourselves from the blank, but as we're not meant to live in isolation, the environment an cultural settings where we live in have a much bigger impact on whom we become on the particular of this video, mental health.
Not being a native english speaker, the title of this video confused me at first. I think it should be read like "How much of mental illness has it's root/cause in genes?" But I read it backwards as "How the study of genes is a mental illness." :D
my grandma had depression and autism, my great grandma had.. no issues as far as I know, but then again I suspect she had depression or some sort of mood disorder, my great grandpa mustve had a problem because he was abusive, maybe war trauma i dunno, my great aunt has a depression disorder, i think two people in my family commited suicide, one is in jail, my great uncle has autism, my father has autism, my grandma on my mom's side had anxiety, my dad's cousin has bipolar, psychosis, severe disorders, and her daughter has autism, my other cousin i think my 2x cousin has a unspecficed anxiety disorder my nephew has autism, my sister has PTSD, my niece has depression disorder and anxiety I also think my dad's cousin also has... maybe like, a anxiety disorder or something, i dunno, I think its a mood disorder because she is my dad's cousin's sister, and then there is me. lol. I have depression disorder, autism, a previous episode of psychosis (i don't have psychosis anymore but i have anxiety about getting psychosis???/anxiety lol) and ocd/anxiety I DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE THE OCD CAME FROM! no one in my family has it! as far as I know of course, how lucky am i?
I can trace mood disorder down 4 generations of the Irish side of the family usually one or two people every generation that's in big families of 7 to 10 people. The mood disorders were as mild as seasonal affective to bipolar 1 My mom was bipolar 1 and so am I. But unlike other generations I have resources that weren't there before. It means I live a totally normal life without my genetics in the way.
Anxiety is not a mental illness! If you were Asian you would not speak as you have, meaning, you are completely influenced by Western thinking. 'Thinking', not fact.
Why did you presume that just because someone had childhood depression and anxiety means it's genetic. It could be learned helplessness. Psychological and physical violence e.t.c
love your channel ,,, but this is just ifs, buts and maybes, not really showed us anything ,,, "if you stare at the moon long enough you'll likely fall on your ass !"
Here is truth. The only thing that truly cures anxiety is Jesus Christ. If you get to know him, and completely trust him, you anxiety will be diminished. He takes away fear from your life. He calls it the "peace that surpasses ALL understanding", including any anxiety medication. "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.". remember that the RAPTURE is going to happen soon, the signs are here.
My mom has had anxiety and depression since a young age. My grandpa specifically instilled so much hurt in her. Mentally, emotionally, verbally and I believe physically. It was so hard for my mom to stand up to them, even at an older age. I stood up to them when I needed to defend myself and my Mom. She thanked me for being so strong, but of course, old school thinks its being disrespectful. Its not. This is where alot of mental illness comes from qhen you pass down such awful things onto your children when they are small. Ive had mild anxiety since I was 10 when my parents divorced, seen a therapist for awhile and it helped. But August of this year, severe anxiety, panic attacks and depression started. Ive been through alot in my life so everything came out like a geyser. Definitely slow down, love yourself, take care of yourself.
I'm in almost the same circumstances as your mom, and I'm fighting an anxiety/panic attack as I write this. I just want to say that I think she's incredibly strong for living as long as she has, with those feelings and their consequences - I'm speaking from experience when I say i know how horrible it is living with it day in and day out. I still live at home, and I dont think I'd survive living by myself. I cant travel at all and I'm agoraphobic. So, yeah I think your mom is super strong for managing to get free and live her own life! ❤😊
I was adopted from Poland and I found out from a cousin that my birth mother suffers from schizophrenia.
I can't even begin to express how much I appreciate your videos. They have really provided me with a lot of insight to help me manage my anxiety, as well as destigmatizing the idea of going to therapy. I've been doing so much better mentally since I started watching your videos. I'm so grateful that there are people like you that have a passion for helping people with mental struggles😊
I remember when as a 14 year old, I was feeling down for about a week. My mom knew I was feeling bad, and took times to talk with and support me. At one point, she said, "Oh, depression runs in the family." I thought, "Oh, great." I did have a hard life as a working adult, but since I retired, I've taken steps to cope with depression. I'd say I'm happier now than I was since leaving childhood.
My father had anxiety and panic attacks, and his mother did as well. Four of 7 of his siblings also had it. I and all of my siblings but 2 out of 11 have it also! Three of us were severe to the point of becoming agoraphobic, and the rest to a lesser degree and unfortunately turned to alcohol to cope. That said, several first cousins have it as well as my children and many niece's and nephews. For us, having a large family gave my therapist an easy task of determining it's definitely hereditary in our cases. That being said, CBT, mindfulness, meditation, NLP, and so many other great 'tools' are extremely helpful. Unfortunately, after 30 plus years of this, it has never gone away. Not for any of us. I'm grateful for these videos because every single day these practices are a must for me. Thank you for all you do on this channel! Forever thankful for you! ♡

For me, as someone with mental health issues and the majority of my family has even more severe mental illness, having children was a hard no for me. I refuse to saddle a children with the burdens I carry or to pass down the trauma I received from having mentally ill family and loved ones.
I can't speak for every person with a mental illness, but I do think it's important to validate the decision to not have biological children in the same way we would respect the same decision being made for other diseases with genetic factors, such as cancer. It isn't inherently wrong to have or want kids, but it is something that people should devote a lot of time and thought into before committing to it.
Wow. Amazingly honest reflection on this topic. Think it through is important. All though my intuition unfortunately tells me that you thought this through and chose not to have children, and others didn't think it through and had children. And maybe it should have been the other way around. That's just a compliment to you for your reflection here.
My dad and I are almost identical personality wise and mental health wise, it’s scary. My little brother was diagnosed with adhd and autism a few years ago, and since then I’ve been researching and have been diagnosed with inattentive adhd, on top of the SAD diagnosis I already had. I’ve been really struggling with my adhd as of late and he’s been helping me through it, and most of the advice he gives is through relatable stories, or because he went through the same thing. He’ll be telling me about something that happened to him or how he used to act in certain situations and I’ll sit there stunned because he just described almost exactly what I’m feeling. Funny thing too, I remember when I first brought up my symptoms when I was looking to get diagnosed, he said, “well if that’s adhd, then I’ve got it too, kid”
tldr, my dad’s brain got copy and pasted into me
My mom and dad both have anxiety and depression, and it's pretty bad for both of them a lot of the time. Sometimes (a lot maybe) I feel angry at them for having 4 whole children knowing full well how bad their mental health is. All 4 of us are mentally ill in different ways, myself having the worst impact on my life from it as I have agoraphobia, GAD, panic disorder and depression and have been involuntarily hospitalized multiple times, had to drop out of highschool and now I'm on benzos yay lol. Had no significant trauma and I was showing signs as early as pre-k, it's often really heartbreaking for me to have this be the only shot at life I get.
I started having OCD and depression when i was 8, maybe 9 years old. I didn't have the best childhood, but it definitely wasn't so bad to explain why these terrible disorders developed. There are people who have a childhood 20 times worse than mine who don't develop mental illness. I am convinced that genetics played an essential part in it. As far as i understand, current research strongly implies that epigenetics play a key role. The environment, e.g. being bullied, seems to change the epigenome, which then influences how genes are expressed.
Epigenetics seem to be the mediator between genes and the environment. That would explain why some people with similar genes get a disorder and some don't. Their environment differs, which changes their epigenome, which changes their gene expression.
In my opinion we should research gene therapy for psychiatric disorders much more. I know it still sounds like science fiction to many people, but it's becoming more and more realistic. Scientists already used gene therapy to strongly reduce depression in mice and - what's even more interesting - only a few months ago another research team used epigenome editing to reverse changes in mice's epigenome caused by traumatic events. When they did that, the mice's anxiety seemed to return to normal levels. Imagine a world in which no one had to suffer from depression, anxiety disorder etc. I really hope this will become a treatment option in the future.
This is soo interesting! Keeping the role of genetics/epigenetics in mind when it comes to mental illnesses can really help understanding the struggles (and their roots) better, I think. Thank you so much for sharing 💙
You are a wonderful example of mental health clinician.
So it’s about how we respond. Do what we can by taking personal responsibility in our choices.
personally I am breaking the chain by not having kids, makes me sad . but.....
I am doing the same...
Excellent move me also.. I don't even have any sexual desires 😢
Emma we want more video about overthinking, depression and lack of motivation
Really really great communication about this difficult topic! It's really thought through and biases are left out. Nuances are highlighted ❤ Will use this for some of my classes. Thank you so much.
Interesting! I have figured this was the case, but was never truly sure. My family has a longstanding history of ADHD, myself included. I think I read somewhere that a trigger with ADHD is neglect in one's childhood, which sadly also makes sense. Anyway! Thank you for sharing this 😁
I suggest reading the book, It Didn’t Start With You by Mark Wolynn.
I believe OCD and hoarding disorder also have a high heritability factor. While researching for my moms quite severe OCD and hoarding disorder, I also found out there's a much higher co-morbidity for these disorders.
I have found a lot of value in what little of your content I have consumed thus far. This one in particular is interesting and a bit life-affirming.
I have a child who is 15 months old, but let me tell you a bit about his parents. We were both raised in trauma, which impacted our long-term mental health. My trauma is severe enough that diagnostics cannot currently tell us if I have ADHD or Autism, because those conditions share too many similarities to PTSD and especially severe PTSD. My spouse has severe ADHD in addition to his PTSD. We worried that having a child would be reckless as it is unknown how many factors we can control to reduce their impact on our child. The first step in finding a healthier balance in our approach was to look at the propensity for genetic contribution. It is unlikely that our child will experience the same trauma we did as our circumstances are significantly different and we have both continued to put in work towards recovering from that trauma, but as ADHD is less impacted by environment we knew we would need to be prepared for that.
At 9 months old our child started to exhibit very clear symptoms of severe ADHD. When we mentioned this to the pediatrician it was dismissed, and we assume that is because they are accustomed to parents guided by emotion rather than research and logic. We don't feel like failures that our child may have ADHD . . . unless we refuse to acknowledge it and thus refuse to accommodate it. So we began researching ADHD friendly living and organizing methods (How To ADHD is a FANTASTIC channel). We went from a child with erratic energy and an insane hyper-focus (if our child is interested in something there is no way to distract away from that interest regardless of how much time has passed, which is a substantial difference from the attention span of most neurotypical toddlers) to a child who was able to move around independently and communicate the stimuli required to function in that moment.
This is not to say that our child will not later develop some kind of anxiety or other mental illness, but because we know and understand the nature of generational trauma we anticipate integrating mental health care into our child's routine healthcare around the age of 5. This is an exercise in saying "where your parents fail there are healthy options to make up for it."
Our job as parents is not to protect our children from everything, but to understand where risk needs to be mitigated and teach them how to manage that risk on their own over time. Our ultimate mindset about it is that it is our job to prepare our child for a world where we do not exist. We are older parents and the likelihood our child will lose us earlier than peers the same age lose their parents is significantly greater. So we need to teach adaptive skills and provide reliable resources for long-term success.
The end. lol
Thank you. I am struggling with this topic in therapy right now and glad I stumbled upon the video.
Isnt the best prevention good and proper emotional education and emotional functionality including understanding that all people have a limit, when it comes to the amount of stress and overfunctioning they can handle? eg. Understanding ones own protective emotions and not ignoring them but functionally using them to protect ones health? Oh, and raising children to have a good self-image (no shaming).
Thank u so so much for having this chanel!! It helps❤
Thank-you so much. Excellent! Break the chain in our brain. Think right and eat right. How important 🙂
Thank you dear for making this video. I met with many doubts about genetic and disorder ,you cleared my queries. I think genes never changes but trying to be better is excellence....
Great video as always. I was a bit confused for some time because heritability of schizophrenia is up to 90% but you say that a child has 10% chance of having schizophrenia is their parent has it. So I looked into a quite confusing definition of heritability and the way understand it is that if you have 2 people identical genetically (twins) the chance that they will suffer from the same mental illness is heritability. So it's not a chance but more of a how much of a role genes themselves play with these illnesses. Quite interesting but confusing.
Chance of passing on a trait is called heredity
I agree, I thought that was confusing too. Didn’t think that was right when she said only ten percent chance of getting from a parent. Didn’t make sense
@@MultiSignlanguageOf all the people with schizophrenia, 90% inherited it to some extent. That’s looking at those who already have it. Looking at all people who have a parent with it, only 10% of them end up developing schizophrenia.
Thanks fr info❤
❤ Great video. But I am shocked that anorexia and bulimia are so strongly affected by genes. I always thought it was societal pressures and body dysmorphia and the fallout from childhood abuse.
Me too! I wasn’t expecting that. My sister and I both struggle with eating disorders, hers was more extreme. I did think it was due to family dysfunction and it was our coping mechanism. We both struggled a lot throughout our lives.
Doctor's I don't believe really have figured out how the brain completely works when it comes to psychological things but it will be really nice when ever they do
Hey. I really like the topics you are looking at and talking about. Really well explained, compassionate and you make it easier to understand some really complex issues. Would you consider at a point breaking down for me, and of course others the bipolar disorder? I guess I just would like to understand those people better, and I like your explanations. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. With best regards Eva from Danmark
There is absolutely no way heritability is that high. Just looking at ADHD and anxiety, which have exploded in the last few decades, there's no such thing as a gene that can become expressed so strongly in such a short time. Just like with doctors trying to say myopia is a genetic condition, when it's quite obviously environmental. The same applies to mental illness. When you grow up in a family of anxious people, you pick up that anxiety. When you grow up in a family of highly educated people who developed myopia, you pick up the same indoor, close work habits and develop myopia.
Someone who explains this really well -- and, I would say, the foremost expert on the topic -- is Gabor Mate. He makes the link between childhood trauma, and ADHD as a way to distract yourself and cope with the painful experiences, very clear, drawing on his decades of experience as a psychologist helping addicts.
What about sociopath/anti-social disorder?
Also, can one disorder in a parent "turn" into another disorder in a child?
What if what one has to accept is that one will be living with depression for all of one’s life? It can be terrible frustrating to be perpetually told one will get better and to feel one has let family, friends, and doctors down by not getting better.
And what can those of us who already have a mental illness do with this information about genetics? I thoroughly agree that we all need to work on preventing illnesses through safe homes, good nutrition, etc., but what if that horse has already left the barn?
So glad to get the scientific facts about heritability. Great info!
It's nature and nurture. There's no clear answer how much is one or the other in general. But some specific mental disorders, like schizophrenia, do have a measurable genetic factor.
I understand and appreciate that mental illness heritability is nuanced and lots of factors play a role, but when I look at those in my family with chronic depression (both my grandmothers, one grandfather, my aunt on my father's side, my mother, and now me) it makes me not want to have children.
I'm a type 1 diabetic. So glad to hear your remark there, as this has long been my conviction: my parents caused my lifelong disease. I believe it's no coincidence that type 1 diabetics are at a much higher risk of developing mental health disorders like depression.
Not sure how your parents could cause an autoimmune disease (type one has no lifestyle component, just a wayward immune s system that thinks your insulin cells are foreign to the body) but if you are talking diabetes 2 then yes lifestyle is the main problem.
@@WhiteRabbitAnne Emil is referring to this part in the video. 1:26
@@WhiteRabbitAnne Sure, let me explain. Psychological abuse causes a chronic elevation of cortisol. A chronic elevation of cortisol causes insulin resistance (scientifically verified), requiring the insulin-producing beta cells to produce more insulin in order to assimilate circulating blood glucose. Chronic over-production of insulin by the beta cells damage said beta cells (scientifically verified). It stands to reason that this effect could in fact permanently destroy beta cells, resulting in type 1 diabetes mellitus.
@@Emile-philia or it can also be, on this case, a variation on a gene. It's also scientifically proven that some people will have changes in the nucleotides of a gene, also called variants or mutations. Also scientifically proven, people can suffer from chromosome abnormalities that can cause a myriad of negative efects on people. but in cases like the one mentioned, enviroment is most likely the case for the development of diabetes type 2, due to lifestyle (as it's pointed out in the video - the diet such subject had followed during his life of periods of its life was inadequate for his health and prompted the decease - if that was due to psychological health issue (like an eating disorder, even provoked by bullying, is not possible to state as there is lack of information for such statement and such condition is not inside of the framework intended by the video - even if it was, as annerkin629 mentioned, how would be possible for your parents to be the cause of a selfimmune disease? As scientifical literature show to this day, "there isn't a single autoimmune gene [...] Autoimmune diseases, for the vast majority of cases, do not fit any simple pattern of inheritance. On the contrary, they are thus considered polygenic - multifactorial - diseases)." when you meant pychological abuse you're also giving a clue, as the ANS, mainly the symphtic nervous system will be in action, which may cause in some point of extreme an augment concentration of sugar on the blood stream (through the pancreatic production). this is also because of the work of your endocrinous system (trought the hippothalamus communicating with the hypophysis - which will release a hornone called corticotrofina (ACTH) wich in way will be the cause of the supra-renal glands to release the "stress hormone", cortisol. Anyway, if such abbuses occured and stress related disorders pop-up you should have seen a theraphist, as they might very well avoided a enviromental cause (you're lifestyle and diet) which most likely was the biggest influence regarding your diabetics. Cheers. Hope you now keep taking care of yourself, we are the most important beings to ourselves - because without ourselves there will also be no others to take care or be found of :)
@@Maddog-xc2zv I'm sorry but you're talking about type 2 diabetes and I'm talking about type 1 diabetes here.
Type 1 diabetes is generally not attributable to dietary or lifestyle factors and is also conventionally referred to as juvenile-onset diabetes, which is to say in my own case this occurred nearly 20 years ago, in other words it would seem misguided to refer me to a therapist for aforementioned abuse in so far as having any meaningful effect on my type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes has no firmly established etiology, instead the conventional supposition is that it's caused by auto-immunity and this is exactly what I'm putting into question.
My condition is very well cared for, thank you very much.
Both sides of my parents families suffered from most of your list. I've been living with the same illnessses since 1976. Its been a long ride.
Amazing video very informative
Please understand this is what some scientist say. This is not proven 💯 Emma did mention one could still be happy with proper care of oneself. Just because it runs in your family doesn’t mean one is going to get it. I feel epigentics are awakened or turned on with life experiences, environment etc in some cases not always. That is the point here Not Always. There is hope! Remember our thought process plays a big part. If one thinks there is no hope in curing anxiety etc then there won’t be. I believe there are some mental disorders that are harder to treat like BD or Sch and medication is needed but Dep, anx, and so many others that are treatable. Like Emma mentioned there is a bigger picture. There is still a lot to research and science advances through out the years. Therapy, nutrition, exercise, mental thought and family support are very helpful. Our brains are complex and marvelous that there is still so much to research. Like Emma has mentioned “break the chain”. 🙏
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO
THANK YOU SO MUCH 👍
If you are lucky to find this comment, i want to tell you that the life you are pursing it at your palm so never give up.
I LOVE YOU

So, are ADHD and Autism now considered mental illnesses? Weren’t they were thought to be neuro-divergences in brain functioning, sensory processing and cognitive development? Lumping them in with depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorders somewhat muddies the topic of mental illness heritability, do they not?
They are neurodivergence. Autism is spectrum and to me this is not a defect put a different way how a brain functions. Autism is not a mental illness in my opinion.
@AlejaMtz2010 autism isn't a mental illness, but adhd is commonly referred to as one
Thank you 👍👍
That’s great. A message of light
Thanks for this - now I understand a little better why my whole family has struggled with depression.
Could you do a video of links from antidepressants and anxiety meds intake to causing development of mental disorders? Thanks.
My dr said the mthfr c677t homozygous gene & Comt gene are highest for bipolar schizophrenia depression ocd adhd.
From family observations I think there is a degree of correlation to hereditary. I just inherited other Danny Devito "Twins" types of issues.
I broke up with my fiancé because he has a mental illness and he refuses to get help. I was worried that I would end up being a single mother of children with his mental problems. I saved myself so much drama...
If you don’t mind the question. Did you think he would leave/abandon the family, or end up dead either voluntarily or involuntarily? And do you consider non pharmaceutical methods, Ike therapy, to be seeking help.
Genius move. Genius. Don't waste your life with someone who doesn't want to help themselves. And I applaud you for not being in the hero syndrome.
@@HappyLife-nf7wb thank you so much! It's been years and I still feel guilty sometimes, because I grew up being the problem solver in my family. I based my value on my hability to help others, but at the end of the day, I had to admit that I was getting only leftovers and I wanted the full meal. I still haven't found a suitable partner, sadly.
@@pandorasmagicbox Don't worry about not finding the one yet. Just imagine being stuck in a relationship when you almost 100% suffer mentally and physically. It's wayyyyyy better to live your life alone in 90% solitude and 10% loneliness. Yes feeling lonely obviously occurs at times but it's nothing compared to the immense scar for life ❤️

I have been to all types of Dr's next test is vertigo or vestibular nerve..one neuro surgeon says I have 2 superficial herniated disks I have cervical spondylosis, but wish I could be told where is my dizziness coming from and how to heal it I need to be able to drive again and work, feel depressed as my life is homebound and when I try to get in car and go somewhere i panic!!! Because i had vertigo driving and almost got into a big accident, 6 months on this journey with Dr's and nobody can tell me whats the cause... i also have a pineal cyst and neurologist says its not cause of my symptoms, i feel I am being medically gaslighted...my constant symptoms are being causes by something.... herniated disk, lumbar issues, or brain
Have they ruled out Viral labyrinthitis ,and Menieres disease. . two shots in the dark. hope you get the help you need soon .

To support healthy brain development and potentially reduce the risk of mental illness in babies, use DHA, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, and Folate before and during pregnancy. (Consult your doctor and pass on the information.)
Not even twins sons of twins are that much determined by genetics (with exceptions of some treatable ocurrable depressions if the parents or one parent had history of hving it (Ahmadzadeh, Eley, Plomi, Dale, Lester, Oliver, McMillan, McAdams."Children of the Twins Early Development Study (CoTEDS): A Children-of-Twins Study" it's a great start), if they in fact get depressed which, only from the genetical standpoint, can become less of a threat with time going by). It's proven by studies of twins that the environment is much more prevalent than genetic prevalence in mental health. Take two twins, put them on different schools, or even the same, and they'll turn out much more different than thought before, that genetics would almost determine even the personality of subjects. That is not just incorrect, even based with the few scratches we're starting to make in the last years on neurosicences (I would recommend the reading for those who think I'm pointing out unverified data of Connors, Bear, and Paradiso, "Neurosicence: Exploring the brain - 4th ed." or/and Kandel, Koester, Mack, and Siegelbaum, "Principles of Neural Science - 6th ed."), but undermines the efforts many researchers in recent times have made to prove genetics may condition our brain but not determine, like positivism was still a thing on science nowadays, the way our brain is wired. Genetic heritage starts to paint a frame of ourselves from the blank, but as we're not meant to live in isolation, the environment an cultural settings where we live in have a much bigger impact on whom we become on the particular of this video, mental health.
It's interesting that the ones evenly split by sex of those diagnosed are also the most genetic
I developed anxiety disorder after getting Covid
I do not think so, as each person is truly unique...
My mom had a bunch of mental conditions
Not being a native english speaker, the title of this video confused me at first.
I think it should be read like "How much of mental illness has it's root/cause in genes?"
But I read it backwards as "How the study of genes is a mental illness." :D
Alot of these are learned behaviors by parents
my grandma had depression and autism, my great grandma had.. no issues as far as I know, but then again I suspect she had depression or some sort of mood disorder, my great grandpa mustve had a problem because he was abusive, maybe war trauma i dunno, my great aunt has a depression disorder, i think two people in my family commited suicide, one is in jail, my great uncle has autism, my father has autism, my grandma on my mom's side had anxiety, my dad's cousin has bipolar, psychosis, severe disorders, and her daughter has autism, my other cousin i think my 2x cousin has a unspecficed anxiety disorder my nephew has autism, my sister has PTSD, my niece has depression disorder and anxiety I also think my dad's cousin also has... maybe like, a anxiety disorder or something, i dunno, I think its a mood disorder because she is my dad's cousin's sister, and then there is me. lol. I have depression disorder, autism, a previous episode of psychosis (i don't have psychosis anymore but i have anxiety about getting psychosis???/anxiety lol) and ocd/anxiety I DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE THE OCD CAME FROM! no one in my family has it! as far as I know of course, how lucky am i?
AMEN!
I can trace mood disorder down 4 generations of the Irish side of the family usually one or two people every generation that's in big families of 7 to 10 people. The mood disorders were as mild as seasonal affective to bipolar 1
My mom was bipolar 1 and so am I.
But unlike other generations I have resources that weren't there before. It means I live a totally normal life without my genetics in the way.

Anxiety is not a mental illness! If you were Asian you would not speak as you have, meaning, you are completely influenced by Western thinking. 'Thinking', not fact.

Here is truth. The only thing that truly cures anxiety is Jesus Christ. If you get to know him, and completely trust him, you anxiety will be diminished. He takes away fear from your life. He calls it the "peace that surpasses ALL understanding", including any anxiety medication. "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.". remember that the RAPTURE is going to happen soon, the signs are here.
