I dont know why I thought of this but if Someone had DP and had a child, would they have DP or some sort of mental illness. This is kinda of a good question to me but may be already answerd, If you know then it would be cool to know as well.

Of course it is a mental illness.........To say its not is absolutley ridiculous....Yes at the heart of it are physical brain chemistry issues but that is what defines mental ill health in the first place....

Can it be passed down through generations...Who knows to be honest...Maybe, maybe not....It requires alot of genetic research over time...

Doctors and shrinks will always ask you if there is a history of mental ill health in your family....So maybe there is a genetic link in their eyes...

Funny enough its one of the reasons Ive never had children...Not only cos I wouldnt be able to cope with children but also cos ive always had a fear I would pass this crap on to them...
