Hi, three female members of my family have been diagnosed with BHD. Outwardly in appearance these three have almost identical builds and body shap which is unlike the other family members. Two of the three have lost a kidney each to cancer. They are in their 50 s. The third is asymptomatic and so far she only has very rough dry skin. There are another two who have the identical body shap, one a woman in her fifties, and one a man in his thirties. The man has not been tested but recently due to recurring headaches was diagnosed as having fatty cysts on the brain. All of the five have personality disorders of various degrees, the male being diagnosed as having an antisocial personality disorder. Does mental illness have any connection with this disease? Have these cyst like tumours been found in the brain before? I am very worried. Can you point me towards some literature that links the BHD to mental illness. my email is YYYY@YYYY
