Alcoholism, addiction to tobacco, aswell as other drugs. Dementia, Bipolar I, possible schizophrenia, depression, varied anxiety disorders. Thats some I know about, my family has a long history of problems, just here in the Bahamas is a very conservative society so people often don't come forward about these problems and if they do are very secretive about it or write it off. I only started learning about my families history of mental illness after I was hospitalized and diagnosed BP I, did some research and found out some things I didn't know. For example my uncle had some sort of phobia that I do not know about and even had ECT treatments cause it got so bad he couldn't sleep alone. Then I found out that one of my cousins has BP I aswell. I knew about the addiction issues long before my history of MI started though, and some traits of that came to me aswell with my cigarette addiction.
