Unfortunately, yes. Schizophrenia is very genetic. Helpguide.org explains that people that have direct family members (parents or siblings) diagnosed with schizophrenia have a 10% chance of developing the illness themselves, as opposed to the normal 1% chance the general population has at developing it. By recognizing the signs and symptoms of schizophrenia, you can be prepared to treat the condition and manage its symptoms.
