hey.. I was adopted and a while back I thought there was something wrong with me.I recently found out my biological dad had schizophrenia and looking at the symptoms it makes a lot of sense.I have many of the symptoms, but my mum think I am being stupid, so she cant know.
Hello and thanks for your query. Heredity is just one of the factors responsible for the causation of Schizophrenia. If one of your parents have Schizophrenia, then the risk of you getting Schizophrenia is about 10%. You have mentioned that you are having some symptoms of Schizophrenia, but you have not given any details. If you are worried or concerned, then I would suggest that you consult a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and psychological assessment.
