The chances of someone whose aunt is schizophrenic developing schizophrenia is 4 percent, which is higher than normal (the chance for someone without a schizophrenic relative is 1.1 percent), but not very high.
it is sometimes caused by head trauma, A number of reasons. Genetics is part of it. I have a friend who's schizophrenic and so is his dad, but they've got it under control. Like the person above posted trauma can cause it, but not just physical trauma, emotional trauma too. I know another guy who got it after a period of homelessness.
Your children might or might not get schizophrenia if your sister and mother have it. There is no guarantee either way.

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.
