<p>last month, i got to see my little cousin who i only see once a year. she's 11 years old (i'm 18 and have had MD since i was 9) and told me about an imaginary friend that she's had for years... she also showed a story she wrote that sounds a lot like it could be from a daydream. i'm still wondering if it's MD or if she's just a creative kid.</p>

I'm not sure if much information about the genetics of MD has been released. From what I've read, most people don't even know that MD exist so it's hard to talk about with family/doctors. It could very well be a genetic thing though; my father has anxiety and mood issues for which he takes medication so I'm not all that suprised that I also have anxiety issues and MD to help deal with that. Some mental issues also run in his family - so it's very likely!
