Dear lybrate-user. I can understand. Please let us know which is the category of mental illness your brother has. Atleast please provide the symptoms. Most of the mental illnesses are not hereditary. There are a few hereditary mental illnesses. You cannot prevent those. But don't worry. Early diagnosis can cure many problems. Take care.
