Please let me hear your thoughts on whether you think he could have inherited this. Thanks a lot. Sue Ellen Dear Sue Ellen, Schizophrenia is a disease that is hereditary. The closer you are biologically and genetically to a person with this illness, the higher the chance that you yourself will get this illness. They must also go for regular therapy sessions with a psychiatrist or mental health team.
Recovery is definitely possible, but it does take a lot of hard work, patience, and above all, time.
Please go to our Schizophrenia page for more information. I would be very grateful for any answer to these questions. Thanking you, Yvonne Dear Yvonne, Depression can be a very lonely and trying time. As I've gone through some depressions myself, I can tell you that it affects every aspect of your life. When I was seriously depressed, I stayed in bed all day and didn't even want to get up to eat.
