I don’t have a clue what this means.
So why do you post it?
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.
It will also be worse for the parents.
One sort of non random mating.
