My husband's family is nutty, to say in the least. His grandmother says and does stupid things to others all the time. She's a major hypochondriac and it shows up in two of her kids (one is on every herbal concoction - the other is on every medication possible). The women all are very emotional (more than normal). They all don't get along very well, as they say and do hurtful things to each other. His sister is the same way. I kind of thinks it's a female thing; but one of his uncles is on antidepressants. Anyone know what the deal is here?

Sounds more like negative family dynamics, influencing the family rather than mental health. Hypochondria and emotional people are not mentally ill.
Hopefully you hubby did not inherit the traits, etc.

Well hypochondria, if that's really what they have, is a minor mental illness, but there is no such mental illness as b*tch personality disorder. It's just how some people are. Just don't see them more than you need to, and try not to get involved in their drama.

There is a profound corruption in the mental health system, they have an agenda to expand the definition of mental illness into including normal human behaviour, all for the purpose of marketing and gaining power over the individual.
