My bio-father had serious problems, but I don't know much about it. He was no longer in my life after I was an infant.
I'm the third generation (that I'm aware of) on one side of the family--all on the same ADs. I haven't explored more than that and I don't know what I would find out or what would help. I do know that knowing this has helped me accept my problems.
I am interested in what you find out, though. Especially the ramifications about what we pass on to our children. I don't know if I would have had kids if I knew then what I know now about myself and my mental illnesses.
And sometimes I wonder if I should just go ahead and start giving my preschoolers a prozac with their breakfast and morning vitamins! *L*
