Also, I cannot find anyone to help me with therapy without insurance, and I desperately need it
I recently commented on one of your videos about my spouse and the nightmare I’m living please respond to my comment
Diagnostic and Statistical manual, is virtually complete fraud. 374 made up diseases or disorders by psychiatrist and voted on by their fellow psychiatrist to be in the DSM. There are no statistics in the manual, Statistical just made up to sound scientific. Almost all fraud. Psychiatry is a great testament about how corrupted by money and power people can be. Really they are disgusting.
This is gonna sound horrible. I REGRET HAVING KIDS😢
Always clear, synthetic and helpful! Many thanks Dr Marks ! ❤
Guys, it's better to check your potential deseases/disorders through DNA Test. I think it more accurates than we see our anchestor history (we just make assumptions about it, aren't we?).
Dr. Marks you are the bomb.

Thanks 4 making this very informative video
❤❤❤❤ Thank you so much for this..Thank you for explaining❤❤❤
No evidence mental disorders are inherited or biological. Psychiatry is a pseudoscience. No proof of mental illness and no cure.
Dammit just one more thing I don’t have info on due to being an adoptee
Always living a mystery 😢
Where were all these so called labels years ago?…all these labels and diagnoses are just pharmaceutical driven…..all BS.
Nature VERSUS nurture is a false dichotomy. Nurture REINFORCES nature. The parent with the disorder can't perform childcare helpfully. They may be crashed when the child needs to learn to trust the world. I'm waiting for SOME authority to admit this.
Thank You for this video. 🧠🏥🧠🏥🧠🏥🧠🏥🧠
I didn't know the heritability for bipolar was so high but. My mother had bp1 and I have had mild to moderate depression frequently. I have instinctively structured my life and career choices to minimize stress and it has served me well so far. I feel validated in these choices after learning how high my risk is. I am over 65 and it's worked so far.
❤❤❤
Thank you Doctor, more great stuff!!
"…even alcohol…" Maybe the most dangerous drug if all.
I’m bipolar and have adhd, pretty sure my mom has both as she has very similar symptoms and behaviors. My brother is bipolar as well. I’ve been told to look into autism but very confident I am not, but can see my mom being autistic!

What about adhd?
