I have way too much mental illness in my family to ever consider trying psychedelics.

Ditto. They contributed to long-term trashing the psyche of a relative and we have a really strong history of such issues, stuff like schizophrenia that they can trigger. It’s an under appreciated risk.

In general, even with genetically inherited disorders your chances of developing most conditions drop from 54% to less than 18% in low stress environments.

Epigenetics are weird, but if you are past 35 without symptoms than you should be fine without medication (know several people that weren't as lucky.)
