Yes Sam, they have found some of the genes for bipolar and schizophrenia. They found them several years ago. They still have a long way to go though. Genetic engineering treatments for mental illness are still another 20 or more years away. Too far to factor into consideration anytime soon. But yes, that is the future and the scientists are working on it.
