You may have a predisposition towards schizophrenia if someone in your close family has or had schizophrenia, if you are a fantasy-prone person, if you do not have much need for a social life, or if you often find yourself believing in strange or fantastical things. Keep in mind that these factors do not mean that you will develop schizophrenia; they just mean that you may be more likely to develop schizophrenia than others.

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.
