Just hoping someone else can make sense of it.

At first blush it all sounds obvious that parent(s) with Sz would have offspring with higher chance of sz.

I suppose the study is valuable here because they are digging into implications on offspring performing on a large assortment of tests like the speed processing test…

All I took in was the abstract, but I feel like they are illustrating (or trying to) a ‘Sz lite’ or ‘un- full fledged sz’ and that may be a fascinating read for some.

Nonrandom mating refers to the people with sz or bipolar having children with people with the same or other mental illnesses.

Yea its a bad idea to date other mentally ill persons.
The risk of having a child with a mental illness increases by a lot and also the family environment will be worse for the children.
