Mental Illness (Other) Susceptibility
Mental illness is a multifactorial condition, as both genetic and non-genetic factors are likely to play a role in the development of the disease. Families in which there are multiple affected, close family members are more likely to have a more significant genetic component.
Clinical genetic testing for mental illness susceptibility is currently unavailable, but research testing may be available for some types of mental illness through offline genetic testing providers if indicated by further evaluation and consultation with a trained genetic professional.
