No it is not contagious. It is a serious mental health condition that needs to be treated with medication by a mental health professional.

What is schizopherenia?
A schizophrenia is a form of fish mainly found in the southern tropics of Canada, they can be quite vicious at times, but during they're mating season (all the time) they are very gentle and act similar to dugongs. When cooked with porkchops be sure to smother in banana cream, they will be useful in sushi wraps.
What is causing the Swine Flu?
the swine flu is caused by pigs, but eating the pork doen't spread the flu to your body. the flu is also contaigious by speading from people to people. the government is also thinking to shut down the school, it the flu case becomes worse! Swine flu was first started when little kids were messing with insides of a pig. Now it is highly contages.
What is the difference between allergies and the flu?
Well, for starters, hay fever is basically an overabundance of mucus excretion due to some form of inflammation of the sinus membrane by an allergen, or a bacteria, or a viral infection. The flu is an infectious disease caused by RNA viruses of the family Orthomyxoviridae (the influenza viruses), that affects birds and mammals. Its highly contaigious whilst hay fever is localized to the host (your sinuses).
List of non-communicable diseases?
A non-communicable disease or NCD is a disease which is not infectious. Such diseases may result from genetic or lifestyle factors. A non-communicable disease is an illness that is caused by something other than a pathogen. It might result from hereditary factors, improper diet, smoking, or other factors. Those resulting from lifestyle factors are sometimes called diseases of affluence. Examples include hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mental health problems, asthma, atherosclerosis,allergy etc. The non-communicable diseases are spread by: heredity, surroundings and behavior.============================================================= stroke Cancer, cardio-vascular diseases,prostate hypertrophy,kidney disease,most urinary tract problems that are not STD related,varicose veins,allergies, except for a possible congenital predisposition. Any disease associated with mucous membranes may have a contagious component{even cavities can be contaigious if you try hard enough] anywhere you have draining wound or other fluids can cause contagion. When in doubt, ask the doc.
Are gallstones hereditary?
my mother died from it and her mother and her sisters all had gall problems, as has my older sister - this finding below infers it passes via the maternal bloodline(maybe a hereditary congenital defect) and females are more likely to be affected - I THINK IT IS hereditary because of my own family, yet because it is so rare most docs look at the overall stats for biliary cancers which are NOT generally hereditary.This was taken from the BMJ (british medical journal) HEPATOBILIARYFamilial liver and gall bladder cancer: a nationwide epidemiological study from SwedenK Hemminki1 and X Li2 1 Department of Biosciences at Novum, Karolinska Institute, 141 57 Huddinge, Sweden, and Division of Molecular Genetic Epidemiology, German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Heidelberg, Germany2 Department of Biosciences at Novum, Karolinska Institute, 141 57 Huddinge, SwedenCorrespondence to:Correspondence to:K Hemminki, CNT Novum, 141 57, Sweden;kari.hemminki@cnt.ki.seABSTRACTBackground and aims: Familial risks in liver and biliary cancers have been assessed in small case control studies, usually based on reported, but not medically verified, cancers in family members. Thus the degree of familial clustering for these cancers remains to be established.Methods: The nationwide Swedish Family-Cancer Database was used, covering 10.2 million individuals for the years 1961-1998 from the Swedish Cancer Registry. Liver and biliary tract cancers were identified from 1121 offspring between the ages of 0 and 66 years and 17 131 parents. Standardised incidence ratios (SIRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for cancers in family members.Results: All cancers in the liver and biliary system showed a familial SIR of 1.65 (95% CI 1.05-2.46). This was mainly explained by a high risk for familial gall bladder cancer (SIR 5.21 (95% CI 2.07-10.80)) and for familial primary liver cancer with hepatocellular carcinoma histology (SIR 4.69 (95% CI 1.48-11.04)). For gall bladder and hepatocellular cancer, maternal transmission appeared to be favoured. Gall bladder cancer was associated with pancreatic cancer (SIR 2.39 (95% CI 1.23-4.18)). Primary liver cancer was associated with cervical, urinary bladder, and endocrine gland tumours. Cancer in extrahepatic bile ducts was associated with ovarian cancer and that in ampulla of Vater with thyroid cancer; however, these associations may have been fortuitous.Conclusions: This study has provided the first data on familial clustering of liver and gall bladder cancers, based on medically confirmed records. The risks were so high that heritable factors were likely to contribute, possibly modified by environmental factors. The demonstration of candidate genes would help to further characterise the familial risks.Keywords: hepatocellular carcinoma; biliary tract; adenocarcinoma; pancreatic cancer; heritabilityAbbreviations: HNPCC, hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer; SIR, standardised incidence ratio; SNOMED, Systematised Nomenclature of Medicine
