Does anyone know if mental health issues can transfer from like wife to husband?

I know a couple that something a bit off is happening with. I thought most mental issues were based on the individual. Does maybe over time their parent ends up affecting them to the point where they develop a condition as well?

Mental illness can be passed through family but not through peer to peer.

However, mental states can certainly affect other mental states. It's not like a virus though.

I meant to say partner instead of parent I typoed but yeah I get what you are saying. It's an odd occurrence that I haven't experienced before of partners affecting each other's mental states.
