chicagorefugee: Gyrfalcon: Gawdzila: Weird.
Schizophrenia is usually a late teens to twenties onset.

Chances are it isn't "schizophrenia." She's probably just (some just) completely psychotic and totally out of touch with reality. Given that there is severe mental illness on both sides of her family, my reaction based on no real research, just my own knowledge of the field, is that the poor thing caught a double dose of whatever recessive genes make for psychosis/schizophreniform disorder(s).

Where did it say that? Did I miss something?

/yes, I did RTFA


It's on page four, but makes no mention of severity. Not sure if that's the only time it comes up, though.

The group discusses the stress on the couple. Both Michael and Susan have relatives who were mentally ill, and both struggle with depression and take antidepressants. They receive no help from their families.

lstywnch: That was the point of my post above this one where I corrected a word I omitted.

Oh, HAHA! Leave it to me to mistake the correction for the post.
My bad, sorry :)
