Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that. It can have a genetic element but kids have their own nature and with the right support from parents and awareness they can combat this. If medications aren't enough for your husband you can try convincing him for counseling to adopt healthy coping techniques. These would also make him independent over time and maybe even leave medicines eventually.
As for your kids, keep reading on these illnesses and symptoms and discuss with them and a child psychologist on how to start nurturing them from a young age. also, it's best to realize despite our best efforts our kids sometimes do inherit some bad habits or traits and it's alright. Just do and hope for the best.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Psychiatrists in Lahore and seek in-person advice.
