Every sz cames from a dysfuntional family? There are sz that have a solid and well strutured family?

Of course there are sz that come from solid families. It’s just there are a lot of dysfunctional families out there so it makes it seem like we’re all from dysfunction.
Im not sure about that. Environment strongly contributes to develop this mental illness

I disagree. Environment doesn’t contribute.
Well i would call my family very functional Actually. My parents are weird but they’re really functional.
Very weird to say the least. Overly sensitive people. Especially my mom. Probably both suffer from bad anxiety. But my parents functioned well over the years despite those issues.
Genetics is a huge part of Sz. Definitely don’t need to be from a dysfunctional family to have your genes a certain way.
And abuse and trauma and stress and substance abuse can happen to anybody. Some other key factors.
I’d say that growing up my non immediate family was fairly dysfunctional. My dad lost his brother I was named after him. While on my moms side my cousins were from a very dysfunctional family. They were some of my closest friends and they got into drugs and that’s part of the reasons I did at a young age too.
Environment and genetics. Nurture nature is complicated to say the least. A lot of odd phenomenon happened in my life. While My mom was from a dysfunctional family as a youth, she was always a high achiever and very organized and overall I’d call her stable.
So yeah that’s just my story I’m pretty sure I’m not alone here in some of the story in which I claim.

Dysfunctional families are the norm and not an exception sadly.
Problem is: most people are not going to see it or want to admit to it if they could see it because it is excruciatingly painful to admit and see.
What most people do is find a way to ‘cope’ so as to avoid that pain.
I feel horrified right now and dealing with excruciating pain just noticing this in my family as well.
‘Coping’ is just… not the way to go about this problem at all. I’ve been doing that for YEARS and all it does it make you feel horrible when you finally start to wake up to what was buried.

I was a super sensitive kid who suffered from debilitating panic attacks on a daily basis for decades.
Something bad was bound to happen to me.
It was the perfect storm.

My family is close to the best you can have and I still got sz. Had no stress, no abuse, no trauma, no financial problems, no breakup, etc I really believe my sz is genetic in my case.

I do believe that psychological stress like a dysfunctional family impedes recovery. Without my family I would be in the streets or dead from suicide.

My dad was violent to my mum for years and sometimes my mom would act erratic. I think she had bi polar. My dad has schizophrenia and delusion disorder as well. For me it’s childhood trauma and genetics that gave me schizophrenia. I do believe environment played more of a role though.

There was little love in out family, My dad was an ass, and no one was allowed to know more than him, I used to get my bare ass whipped with a belt till it bleed and had welts.I left at 18 and never went back
I often wonder if it was the cause or a factor in me having SZ

I had a fairly dysfunctional upbringing but I try not to dwell on it. I always had my physical needs met. There just was never emotional support.
Here’s a poll I did on this very subject.
Only 63% said they came from dysfunctional families.
