My dad had it. He got it when he fell off his motorbike, and banged his head, before I was born. Will I get it? I'm so scared. I have depression just now.

There are other "triggers" of schizophrenia, such as high stress, post-traumatic indicators for those more predisposed to it. Usually hereditary schizophrenia has visible symptoms in adolescent. Check with your family physician or browse the web for a local chapter that is dedicated to Schizophrenia if you need expert advice. |
