Is it possible for a schizophrenic to pass his illness to his children?
Schizophrenia does have a genetic component - so risk of schizophrenia in close relatives of a schizophrenic patient are increased.

Environmental and social stressors may increase this risk.

Why do most researchers consider schizophrenia a brain disorder What evidence suggests that schizophrenia could begin in the womb?
Most researchers consider schizophrenia a brain disorder due to evidence of structural and functional abnormalities in the brains of affected individuals, such as altered neural connectivity and changes in brain chemistry. Additionally, studies suggest that prenatal factors—like maternal infections, malnutrition, or stress during pregnancy—can increase the risk of developing schizophrenia later in life. These findings indicate that genetic predispositions, combined with environmental influences during critical periods of brain development, may contribute to the onset of the disorder.
