It's a really easy google to find the peer reviewed literaure. I don't care what your doctor said. 1) it's an anecdote, and 2) your doctor is not a researcher studying populations, and 3) your doctor has no reason to blame your parents or tell you that anyway - it's a statistical fact, it doesn't predict anything about individual propensity and it wouldn't solve anything for you. We're talking about mental health prevention right now. Your program is for treatment.
