Hi.. causes for psychiatric disorders are genetic and environmental. It means if someone in the family has a mental illness, people will inherit those genes. But if they develop the illness or not may depend on environmental stressors they face. Usually they have about 15 to 25% chances. Also being diagnosed with schizophrenia without any family history is also possible.
