I’ve read that schizophrenia has the strongest genetic links out of all the mental illnesses.
Doesnt surprise me, seems to be linked to genetics for sure imo

They say everyone who doesn’t have a family history of schizophrenia has a 1% chance of having it.
I see, lucky people.

No, but my dad and one of his sisters is clearly mentally ill. However, they don’t have psychosis, but paranoia for sure.
Edit: neither of them have a diagnosis that I’m aware of.

I have family history of it, my aunt had exactly the same diagnosis as me, paranoid schizophrenia. She was also on the same meds zyprexa.

Does a cousin count? I have one cousin who suffered from psychosis though I’m not sure if she was diagnosed with sz specifically.

I don’t think it counts, I think the furthest you can go is uncles or aunts not sure about cousin.

I have an uncle and a cousin with schizophrenia and some other relatives who have experienced psychosis. It runs in the family for several generations now (on my dad’s side).

only known one in the family, rumours later about a great, great aunt they kept in the attic in the early 20th century…nothing else…the sensitivity of my mind putting myself through architecture I think did me in.
