My mom is paranoid delusional schizophrenic - she also hallucinates while I don’t.
My Aunt is like me no hallucinations.
My dad has some undiagnosed illnesses.

My dad had undiagnosed sza or sz, not sure which. He was never depressed or suicidal but he would regularly go into rages and spent money like it was going out of style so, he was probably sza. He was always paranoid and delusional. Unlike me, my dad didn’t hallucinate.

My parents aren’t SZ. But the signs are there. My dad has bad GAD (general anxiety disorder) and takes Lexapro and xanax. But no other mental illness in my parents. But my mom and dad are both creative and very sensitive which I think could be signs that schizophrenia can run in the family, if it’s triggered. Just my theory.

My mom has depression, and depression and alcoholism run in the family.
Idk about Y-donor and his family. I’ve never met them. It’s hard to picture him having severe mental illness as a young man as he successfully completed military service.

My mother has severe OCD and anxiety/depression, probably more/possibly different dx, she doesn’t really talk about it. But I know she’s not totally well. I’m the first with sz.
