Older Fathers








Hi Everyone!
For quite some time now a mother's age has been associated with disorders such as Down's Syndrome but the age of the father has not really been a concern. The Feb/Mar issue of Scientific American Mind reports some new research on how the age when a man becomes a father increases the odds of their child developing mental illness, in particular Schizophrenia, Autism & Bi Polar Disorder. Check out "The Father Factor" by Pau Raeburn for more details.
