Is having an irrational fear in your childhood the norm? Frankly, I didn't really have anything that triggered off fear when I was a child. As an adult, I don't like laddrs, but having a bad ankle that sometimes gives way contributes to that.
How much of the OCD's and cognative disorders are inherited? (or tendancies). I know someonw who is schisoprhenic to the point of hearing voices (she thinks she is physic because of it), and who recently became pregnant. What are the chances of her child having a similar problem?
