"Schizophrenia is a disease that makes you not be able to think very well. If you have schizophrenia, you might think that people are trying to hurt you even if they aren't. You also might hear or see things that aren't there."

Why would you need to prepare a child for the end of the world? Putting your own unfounded fears into the mind of an innocent young child would simply cause unnecessary emotional distress.

Is it possible for Schizophrenia to start at age 60?

I have never heard of or seen a case like this. Typically, schizophrenia emerges in young adulthood. While I cannot say its impossible that it would emerge at age 60, it is very highly improbable that it would. If schizophrenia-like symptoms do emerge, the person should consult with their primary care physician in order to rule out any physical health problems that may be causing these symptoms to appear.


How do you explain to an adoptive young child about their birth parent?

Start when the child is very young, referring to the birth mother who lovingly gave birth, knowing the child would need another mother who would love, care for and raise this special baby. Let the child know she / he was loved from the beginning by the mother who loved them enough to give them up and the mother who chose him / her out of all the children in the world. Tell the child how she / he didn't grow in your tummy but grew in your heart. I suggest starting young with the most simple language so there is never a feeling of shame or something hidden. Honesty is always the best policy when dealing with children.
