This is interesting. I have suspected that my cptsd somehow influenced my daughter's development of mental illness. Primarily her ability to handle stress. There's more to it than that. There is an extensive history of mdd, bipolar, ocd, sad, gad and schizophrenia in my husband's family. Mine? Cptsd.
