That's really interesting. I'll have to read it when I have more focus. Not long ago there was another study that showed schizophrenia, bipolar, depression, autism, and ADD all have the same genetic link but people experience them differently. I'm interested to see the follow up research on that.

My dad's first cousin has schizophrenia. He's the only one in the family. I don't know who has what else, but my dad was recently diagnosed with depression. I don't know my cousin very well and he's a lot older than me. He's in his 60s now. All I know is the schizophrenia made him very angry and violent until he was medicated. He was not able to hold a job because of it, so him and my uncle used to do odd jobs. My uncle passed away about 2-3 years ago and my cousin isn't doing so well any more.

In my dad's family the whole thing is to just "suck it up" and not talk about anything, so I have no idea of anyone else's mental health.
