I often wondered, since I have schizophrenia, if my parents who are both long since deceased had some kind of mental illness too.
When I think about it, my dad was a strange guy. He had all kinds of weird beliefs. He believed in psychic ability and was paranoid as hell. My mom was weird too. She thought she could see ghosts. I'm suspecting that my both dad and mom had schizophrenia or bipolar. I guess, in the end, I shouldn't be too surprised that I developed schizophrenia. Does anyone else have a family history of schizophrenia too? |

I had an aunt that suffered from schitzophrenia. She was a very strange person and it was very obvious, unlike me that tried so hard to hide it. obviously hiding it didnt work because i was so far gone at certain times. i finally was put on closaril after being on every other kind of drug and it worked.

I can't just get my dad to take a diagnosis seriously lol. But I'm sure he has severe Schizotypal PD. And his mom is a narcissist sociopath (Very very twisted and evil). My grandmother on my moms side is also narcissist (Was very very evil).
My parents were both abused (Severely), but didn't abuse me (Although my moms ex did after they separated - He was a narcissist sociopath). My mom seems to have very bad ADHD/OCD. My cousin (On my moms side) was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 and ADHD with psychosis. So it's kind of weird. I'm sure my brother is on the autism spectrum. |

I don't know. We don't talk about such things in my family. I know I inherited my mental illness from my mom's side of the family though. My mom is weird. Everyone on that side of the family is weird. My grandma (mom's mom) is VERY weird. A priest had to get a restraining order against her.
It's not fair, but I'm pretty peeved they gave this to me. I know it's just genetics, and I'm not pissed I was born. I've disowned myself from that side of my family.
