My great aunt Róża died at 29 in 1959 in childbirth and the baby followed her several month later.

Like my half brother and my uncle on my mother's side

My uncle has it really severe apparently and has been in and out of hospital all his life

I've never met any of these people and I've only heard the information through my mother's first cousin but I don't like to bother them to be honest

I kinow also about my two other very distant cousins (brothers to each other) who had schizophrenia. But that's all I know about them - I never met them.

It might run in the family then because I was diagnosed with schizotypal personality disorder and that's supposed to be on the schizophrenia spectrum

I have a really big family - though I know only my family of my mother. And even then, I know only the family of my grandfather because my grandmother, who had 8 siblings, was the only one to survive childhood - she was the only one who didn't contract the consumption. My grandfather was one of 13 children in the family - 9 of those survived and 6 out of those 9 kids, started their own families in adulthood. But I'm sure everyone else in the whole family is neurotypical.

My older sister has Multiple Sclerosis and is pretty much house bound now.

My younger sister has a high flying job and lives in a nice town in Cheshire.
