Are you born schizophrenic

Answer 1

No, you can't be born with schizophrenia. Sometimes people confuse having schizophrenia at a very early age with being born with schizophrenia. For example, January "Jani" Schofield was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of six, and she is often falsely said to have been born with schizophrenia. However, there is no research that states that you can be born with schizophrenia.

Answer 2

No, you can not be born with Schizophrenia.

However, depending upon the environment in which you grow up and that influences you, you can develop Schizophrenia over the course of time. More so, when you are genetically susceptible having one or both the parents with the disease.

Answer 3

This question is rather controversial in psychiatry. Most psychiatrists and psychologists believe that there is a genetic reason for schizophrenia, but that an event in the patient's life triggers the schizophrenia to erupt. This is because schizophrenics often have relatives who also had schizophrenia, hinting that there is a genetic background. However, schizophrenic episodes often occur as a result of stress or a change in a person's life.

Answer 4

Most of the time, yes. If one or more parents have Schizophrenia and its hereditary, the baby can inherit it. The chance for babies developing schizophrenia is 50% which is rare but schizophrenics can have healthy babies also but may develop schziophrenia when they are older. Nobody knows the exact cause for it but it has to do with genetics and how the brain develops before birth.
