Schizophrenia itself does not involve those symptoms, but the medications associated with schizophrenia can cause weakness and loss of consciousness. Please see your doctor immediately if you lose consciousness without any evident non-serious cause.

Do people still think that people with schizophrenia are possessed?
Most people do not believe that people with schizophrenia are possessed. Even if the general attitude towards schizophrenia is more negative than it should be, possession is not a common belief about schizophrenia.
Can you get schizophrenia without a relative with schizophrenia?
No. Scientists have long known that schizophrenia runs in families. The illness occurs in 1 percent of the general population, but it occurs in 10 percent of people who have a first-degree relative with the disorder, such as a parent, brother, or sister. People who have second-degree relatives (aunts, uncles, grandparents, or cousins) with the disease also develop schizophrenia more often than the general population. The risk is highest for an identical twin of a person with schizophrenia. He or she has a 40 to 65 percent chance of developing the disorder.
What should you do if you exhibit several signs of schizophrenia?

If a family member has Schizophrenia is it more likely that you will have Schizophrenia?
Statistically, yes. There is a strong correlation between schizophrenia and genetics. That said, schizophrenia occurs in about .5% of the general population. So while you are statistically more likely to develop symptoms than someone who has no schizophrenics in their family, it is still quite unlikely that you will develop symptoms.

Why is cigarette smoking a problem with sufferers of schizophrenia?

Smoking can cause health problems such as emphysema and throat, lung, and mouth cancers.

Can kids be born with schizophrenia?
Population statistics on the heredity of schizophrenia estimate that a child with one diagnosed parent has about a 10% genetic risk of developing the disease themselves (this is compared to a 1% risk in the general population). The risk goes up significantly if both parents (60%), a grandparent, or other close relatives also have schizophrenia.
How likely is schizophrenia hereditary?
Schizophrenia is partly genetic- one out of ten people who have at least one schizophrenic relative also have schizophrenia (compared to one out of one hundred people in general). About one out of two people whose identical twins have schizophrenia also have schizophrenia. However, schizophrenia is not completely genetic. If schizophrenia was completely genetic, everyone who had an identical twin with schizophrenia would also have schizophrenia. This is not the case. Like I said before, about 50% of people whose identical twins have schizophrenia also have schizophrenia. There are environmental as well as genetic factors to schizophrenia.
