Hehe...so you're saying that some individuals genetic maekup are prone to the illness?

And if so, what triggers this insanity that endangers the person and people around him?

Hear me out my people.... the spiritual controls the physical.

Take them to the best psychiatric hospital in the world they will remain insane or become lunatics. It's called 'pattern of the blood line' that's why you see the sickness which kills the father is coming to kill son, father became drunkard at the age of 20, so started drinking at the age of 20 also

There are remote and immediate causes of psychosis. Hereditary is a factor that can simulate psychosis, but it is purely dependent on other immediate factors to trigger it: like stress, relationship break up, death of love one etc.

Having a mental break down is not the end of the world. It can be managed through various psychological intervention technique and psychotic drugs.

advise the family to take him to a clinical psychologist. You'll be surprised the behavioural changes that will take effect in the coming weeks.

ozoigbondu:

I won't say 90% it depends on whether the gene for madness is dominant or recessive.It also depends on how frequent madness affects the family.I will put it at 45% chance

Even when I think the human body is perfect, it still has some vulnerabilities..when one studies genetics you will know..

It is well sha..

not when it's spiritual. Haven't you heard about cases where sick people in the hospital are being told by the doctors there is no sickness in your body after series of test? But the person is dying. We all educated bro

OP you mean mental illness?

"Risk factors for mental illness include genetic inheritance, such as parents having depression, or a propensity for high neuroticism..." - wiki

so mental illness can be hereditary.

In one word YES. My wife worked in the past with ppl who had mental illness as well as a good friend of mine. If it runs in ones family you can be susceptible to it. Also as someone mentioned, stress and drugs and alcohol abuse can also cause different forms. Strangely enough, a large portion in Nigeria suffer from it without knowing due to the enormous stress of living in that country.

Certain signs which go unnoticed which Im sure you have seen in your environment:

1 Unnecessary shaking or movement of legs/feet while either sitting or still (VERY COMMON). This is one way of the body trying to get stress relief.

2 Rage outbreaks from simple issues resulting in fighting or violent actions. Notice the amount of news we hear of someone being killed or attacked usually by someone close to them for the slightest misunderstanding.

3 Talking to one self constantly or talking loud without even noticing that you are doing it.

4 Forgetting to eat (strange but true)

5 Disregard for cleanliness for oneself or environment.

The sad part is the stigma that is carried with it which causes those around the victim not to seek help for them for the fear of being labelled family of a crazy person or even demonic etc. The irony is that it can be kept under control by counselling and medication.

I have thought about this issue many a times and how painful that our citizens suffer at the hands of these things. My ppl suffer to much my heart bleeds for them honestly. cry

Madness could be hereditary in the three aspects of the human makeup of:
1. The body /physical or physiological where
there is physiological defect that caused the
Madness is passed to the person from the
genes of the forebears.
2. The soul, psychological, emotional, tempo-
ments, etc. for instance perpetually depr_
essed parents can pass the genes of depre_
ssion to the child. Depression often leads to
madness.
3. Spiritual aspect. Children inherit both spiritual assets and liability from the parents until and except they are separated from it spirituality too.

What do you mean by madness?

Madness from psychiatric conditions? Yes, it can be hereditary

Madness from substance abuse? Yes, it can be hereditary

Madness from sheer stupidity? Yes, it can also be hereditary. But, mainly NO.

*modified*: I suppose madness can result from spiritual conditions. This also can be 'spiritually' inherited. But, also mainly Not.

Can mental illness be inherited? Yes
The YES does not vehemently justify 100% certainty i.e that if ones parent has then someone would. It just indicate a probability(increase in chance).
Mental illness as people might wrongly think is not spiritually motivated, if it is, I see no reasons why a branch of medicine called psychiatry exist. Neurotransmitters(dopamine and serotonin surge are often times causes of this) imbalances can be prevented by avoiding stressors, eating good meals, excercise, avoid drugs and drinks.

Not in all cases is it caused by Cannabis sativa.

Spiritual attack is another angle we can look at.
