- The inherited mind : a story of family, hope, and the genetics of mental illness / by Longman, James,author.;
Includes bibliographical references.James Longman was a preteen in boarding school when his dad, who was diagnosed with depression and schizophrenia, died by suicide. As he got older, James' own bouts of depression spurred him to examine how his father's mental health might have affected his own. He engaged with experts to uncover the science behind what is inherited, how much environmental factors can impact genetic traits, and how one can overcome a familial history of mental illness and trauma. In 'The Inherited Mind', James Longman invites readers to reflect on their own stories as he shares his quest to better understand himself and his family. Through speaking to mental health experts, to those who have had similar familial experiences, and about his own life stories. James shows us, with heart and humor, how much our bodies can empower and inform us about our own personal mental health histories.- Subjects: Autobiographies.; Biographies.; Personal narratives.; Longman, James; Longman, James; Depression, Mental.; Mental illness;
