    For what it's worth there's a good article on current drug treatments for schizophrenia in the latest Scientific American. It's interesting because it explains the different types and how they respond to medication.

    I hate to chime in with "seek professional help" since that's a phrase that has a similar emotional feel to "get lost" sometimes, even if it's not meant that way. But if you've got it in your family and you feel you're having a potential problem with it you should certainly get a relationship with a professional, if you don't have one already. He or she would be able to tell you if you're really losing it or not or in danger of it. It's reasonable to be concerned about the possiblity of any illness that has a genetic component that's in your immediate family.

    By the way, the article gets into the genetic probabilities a little as well. If I recall correctly they exist but aren't that strong.

    I agree. Ask your gp or ask around for a good psychiatrist. Start working with him and tell him everything. Don't hold anything back as it will only delay positive results. If your asking this question, you know something isn't right. The best of luck bro!
