It's hard to know exactly what is transmitted to successive generations, other than that we think the potential, or the vulnerability is probably what is transmitted in many cases. My current doctor is not the one who initially diagnosed me with schizophrenia. She believes I may have psychotic depression. In schizophrenia, most people will have residual difficulties in some area of function even when they are not acutely psychotic. Even the new drugs, which do a better job of treating the negative symptoms, are not perfect.
Many people still have residual negative symptoms.
I suggest asking the doctor for her thoughts on the diagnosis. I went off Clozaril and Pamelor in hopes of becoming pregnant. My symptoms returned and I was started on Zyprexa and Zoloft. I would like to become pregnant, but I'm afraid to on this medicine. But, if I don't take my medicine, I become very ill.
