Only for those who know about schizophrenia and mental disorders?

I am in my thirties and i am afraid to give birth because my mom was diagnosed with schizophrenia when she was 33.So far, I am the only (normal) in my family. My younger brother(28) is bipolar. I am also afraid for myself. What do you think about that. Do you have informations about this topic. Thank you

Well, if you are 33, and haven't come down with any thing yet, chances are you won't. Have that baby!! I know a Bipolar boy and he is delightful. It isn't a life sentence.

it can happen to you, and it can happen to any child you have, its just a waiting game to find out.
My mother is what I think an undiagnosed bipolar and maybe borderline personality disorder. I was diagnosed schizoaffective disorder which is schizophrenia and bipolar. I do worry about my son.

I have an exgirlfriend who is still a really good friend of mine who has schizophrenia. She has been very open with it to me and has been able to answer all the questions I have had about it. She had once told me that it runs through a family. Her mom does not have any mentall disorder neither does her dad or brother, but she did once tell me that her grandmother did, or so thats what the symptoms lead up to. There is nothing to be afraid of. Talk to your doctor, tell him your worries and he will give you lots of information on it.
