    Guess we're just in the 'minority of cases'?

    Eh… Yes, as a matter of fact you guys are? Don’t know why I need to debate the principle of anecdotal evidences in this discussion 🤔

    You could also talk to experts to determine if there’s increased risks or not in your specific case. My mother has 6 siblings, one of them had one kid who’s schizophrenic, that’s one out of 15, nothing hereditary about it, shit just happens sometimes.

      I’ve met plenty of others that have seen mental illness wreak havoc on their families. Sure my experience is anecdotal but wtf else can i draw experience from? Make all my decisions based on probabilities and just hope for the best? Congrats on having a bunch of normal functioning family, sounds nice 😊

        Guess you never had stats explained to you?

        My first message was general. It doesn’t apply to your case? Fair enough, you’re in a minority. It doesn’t make me wrong and it’s not an attack against you and you can push the reflection a bit further and tell yourself “Although it’s not the case with me, most people are close to others in their family so I guess in most cases it’s a form of support when aging that people don’t get if they don’t have kids.”
