Schizophrenia typically skips a generation,but really that's not a fast or hard rule. Schizophrenia usually shows / starts during a very stressful time in your life. College, marriage, first child.. But usually it's right around the early 20's. Schizophrenia is a very serious illness, that requires many medications. If you haven't shown any signs of hearing voices, bouts of paranoia, thoughts of suicide, or any type of visions of death, I wouldn't worry. You'd definitely know something was up. It's crazy to me that you just found out. Schizophrenia is such an extremely dangerous disease. I'm so surprised they kept it from you. But, if you do want to talk to a doctor, an endocrinologist or a therapist would be the one to see.

I would def talk to the doctor about screenings and getting checked regularly
