I have quite the family tree. No one was ever diagnosed. My last psy had me fill out a family tree. This was just when my mother happened to tell me that my cousin may very well really be my aunt, which I told the doctor. She told me a story of something my grandfather said about it that was so compelling to believe that was true. Now my mom denies ever saying it. Sad, suicide and death stories...funny, delusional stories... lots of characters. I never thought of them as mentally ill. Kind of assumed everybody was like them.

My Grandma was 'very nervous', was given an illegal supply of anti anxiety pills from a pharmacist forever, walked around with a baggie of assorted pills. That had to have been GAD.
