16 different members of my family have schizophrenia (I have a large family though I rarely see them). All of them have been suffering since birth it was passed down through generations of aunties, uncles, cousins and nephews alike.
I to am liable to get it but only if something sets it off like drugs or something.

The way my family deal with the problem is to isolate them during the violent attacks. And talk to them in the calmer, more upset attacks(anyone with schizophrenia will understand). Over the years the problem has had a price to pay on not only my family members who are suffering with this demon but also on my family members who have had to watch it unfold.

I have always wished for the sake of my familys sanity that they will find a cure soon.
