I honestly know very little about my grandparents, and Dale's grandparents were gone mostly before he was very old. But no mental health that we know of on those sides. My mom's side though my grandfather had lots of health issues
so its possible that they never knew. If I remember correctly he was a polio
survivor. Her mother before she died was a worker in the family, her dad
couldn't work. So she held multiple jobs, in arkansas.

My dad's dad died when he was 16, and his mother. Yes, I'd say she had mental
issues, but can't for sure. We don't know a lot.

My mom was very strong. And my dad, had nothing, he worked all the time.
But died right at the time he would have retired. He had cancer at 60 years old.

Then came the mental issues.

Dales side, yes the kids in my kids ages do have some issues. My niece, has
mental issues. My mother-in-law was always worried that her mother was
not getting the issues. And finally one day asked me if I thought maybe,
it might be heridetary, because she might have been depressed too.
And asked me to go over and explain Dan's issues. So I did. And her mother
told me thank you. She really appreciated me giving her the history I knew
for Dan and his troubles. Because she hadn't know that he had more than
a little bit of trouble.

So yes, its run in the family for a while.
