Some of them need to be used sparingly, I would argue, maybe in life-threatening situations, but then we need to move on to health-promoting treatments.
I'm in my 50s.
I don't know how much more time I have, but I think I have enough time that in my lifetime I'm
I believe it is possible that we will see a transformation of the mental health field.
And we will look back on the way we treated mental illness in 2024 as almost barbaric.
And how could they have done that?
Like, why didn't they...
If you do have genes that increase risk, you have passed them on.
It's not your fault as a parent.
Your parents did it to you and their parents did it to them.
And so don't spend any time or thought beating yourself up over that.
So genetics do get passed on, and we're not changing those anytime soon.
Epigenetics also get passed on, unfortunately, and that gets more complicated.
It means that if you've been traumatized as a parent, if you had a horrible childhood, your parents physically beat you, surprisingly, you have passed on
at least a glimpse of that experience onto your children.
When people have trauma, especially prolonged trauma, it causes changes in what I think we can safely just call epigenetics.
And that might mean modifications to your DNA.
It might mean like micro RNA molecules and other kind of things.
that actually can get transferred in eggs and sperm cells to new children and can impact their future mental health and metabolic health.
Some parts are unchangeable, but the good news, the great news, is that genes and even epigenetics are not the primary determinants of these illnesses.
