Caused by genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, complex diseases such as asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, hypertension, manic depression, schizophrenia, and others, are often difficult to treat. Disorders that are commonly referenced as "running in the family" can be classified as complex diseases.
