Question:
Whats the chance of this happening?
i have post traumatic stress disorder, trichotillmania and chronic onychophagia (im pretty sure thats how you spell it, if not you don't need to point it out). whats the chance that my children will get those too? their father does have any of those but are they at higher risk of getting them because i have them? thanks
Answers:
PTSD and trichotillomania are both anxiety disorders. Heritibility of anxiety disorders is fairly well esablished. This does not mean that you child WILL undoubtedly develop an anxiety disorder, but he/she may well be more vulnerable than children who do not possess a genetic susceptability.
