I am 19 year old girl, from seoni madhya pradesh, my elder brother and sister suffering from mental illness, so how many chances do I have that I can also suffer from such mental disease, because my elder sister and brother is also suffering from this disease. I am very scared because for few days right side of my head headache persists.

Genetics play a role and some genetic variations are responsible for many such diseases which run in families-- like autism; bipolar disorder; major dipression and schizophrenia. Close relatives have a vulnerability depending on environmental and social situations also .genetic tests can't accurately predict the risk ---a good genetic counselor can help you in this matter.
