Schizophernia
Is Schizophernia hereditary? My friend's mother-in-law is schizophernic and she was severly affected when she was in her 40's and 50's. Now she is 67 and is bit stable. My friend heard that schizophernia is hereditary and has this doubt if there is a chance that the condition might get passed on to the next generation, even though her husband and she are perfectly normal?
