Hi, I am giving you the statistics for it. If one parent from the couple has severe mental disorder and the other is normal then the chances of passing it to their children is 50% and if both the parents are having mental disorders then the chances of their child having mental disorder becomes 50%. Now the decision is yours. Sometimes the environmental factors also play big role in the onset of mental illness in a normal person.
