What are you trying to say? Usually that condition develops in teens and 20s. Why are you worrying?

Hi Alexis, Blueeyed I think you mentioned in your last post that you're 19, so if you're afraid of getting it, maybe do some research, ask your dr. about it. I found this article for you that goes into detail about some of the research being done in this field, of prevention of schizophrenia, explaining risk factors etc. 3rd paragraph says that scientists now know , that genes are not destiny, so try not to worry. I skimmed it, and it looks like it's a good idea, in prevention strategies- to moderate alcohol consumption and develop friendships and good coping skills for anxiety. i pray you do not get this sickness. schizophrenia.com/prev1.htm#
