If your head is screwed on well enough to be willing to argue the point and you are free to move around at will. That is you havent signed yourself in to a clinic of some sort, why dont you seek a second opinion from another doctor.
unfortunately there is no cure.. but treatment, medication and counselling. and friends and family that care about you

When a person is suffering from schizophrenia a family member might notice irrational comments in conversation, such as references to a person who does not exist or descriptions of events that did not happen. Family members can be very helpful in recognizing schizophrenia, because they are likely to have been present at occasions and can confirm whether or not specific events actually happened. Unfortunately, family members may be blamed for things they did not do or say, or asked to verify delusions and hallucinations. Family members can also learn to recognize patterns of behavior that indicate that the patient is not taking medication as prescribed.
Freud would say that schizophrenia was caused by a dysfunctional family or childhood trauma that manifested in adulthood as schizophrenia. Poor family relationships can affect the way that a child perceives reality and interacts with the world.
The sociocultural perspective says that schizophrenia is caused by peer influences and labeling and a dysfunctional family.
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.
There is no one gene for schizophrenia. However, there are many different genes that may contribute to schizophrenia. A gene on chromosome 1 in the 22 family is implicated in schizophrenia, as well as genes on chromosomes 11 and 6.
Mine doesn't same with everyone in my family and all my friends. Go to the doctors man!

No it is not preventable it automaticaly runs in your genes there is nothing to prevent it espically if you have family members with it.No it is not preventable it automaticaly runs in your genes there is nothing to prevent it espically if you have family members with it.Autism IS preventable. There are several studies and evidence that suggest that this disorder is not simply genetic.
No, it doesn't necessarily occur just because it's present in the family. There are more factors involved in schizophrenia than a specific gene. Other mental/emotional symptoms may exist in the family because of the presence of a genetic type but full blown schizophrenia is unlikely.
family doctors are paid at about 150-175k a year
