Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am getting married with a girl whose younger sister is mentally retarded kind of ? And i m worried that if we were to one day have kids because she might carry the genes making a child more predisposed to this illness? I do love her, but I like to think long term rather than heat of the moment.
