They still aren't sure what causes schizophrenia, I'm pretty sure I carry the "gene" but don't have schizophrenia, I have other mental health problems but not schizophrenia. The same gene that they believe causes schizophrenia causes bipolar, ADHD, Major Depressive Disorder, Autism etc. You said you have ADHD, so it probably does "run" in your family.
