I have always had the feeling that bipolar and schizophrenia was linked. No one else in my family has bipolar, either. But my dad's first cousin has schizophrenia.
I had read an article about a year ago which may have been about this study, stating someone had a theory that it was more a spectrum with ADHD, depression, bipolar, and schizophrenia. Now adding Autism into it, I can see how it can really be a spectrum!
