Sza, sz, depression, bipolar, anxiety, and psychotic depression all run very high in my family.

My brother started showing symptoms several months ago.
My memory is faulty, but I swear my mom said we have a distant relative that could move objects with her mind, hence the psychic connection – the only one. Probably labeled schizophrenia or bipolar back then, or just weird or odd. That’s about it. This was like a great great great aunt or something.
I’m sad that my niece is experiencing some mental health problems, but don’t think it will turn into what I have. She is gifted intellectually and creative, just lacks focus and drive. That’s about it.
There’s a lot of family history we don’t know because we don’t know a lot about our family. I thought I had Asperger’s mild and even was told by a few and diagnosed professionally as such. I have schizo-affective disorder too but sometimes question if I really have DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder or something from trauma as an adult). It could be both or it could be nothing and I might not have it. I just realize I’m in a real time loop or causal loop and I have severe trauma from it and aliens and mean people.
I don’t know.
I have an uncle who killed himself,
The family was very quiet about his diagnosis and treatment.
I imagine he had schizophrenia.
It had to have come from somewhere.

Thank you.
I didn’t know him, but he was a gifted sculptor.
My aunt has two of his works, they’re beautiful.

I suspect that there could be on both sides of the family but it is not talked about.
My mum’s side, she mentioned something after I was diagnosed but then decided to change it to I don’t know when I suggested that this predisposes me.
My dad’s side there were some signs that were seemingly obvious but the person according to my dad denies they have it.

No, just me. But it’s more like a sprint.

I have heard that sz may
pass even 7 generations
before it appears.
Maybe a grand grand father
had schizophrenia
