For me personally, I do not believe I would have developed schizophrenia had it not been for several environmental triggers. There is no person in the history of my family, living or deceased, for at least three generations back who ever has had a psychotic break. If I have a gene or genetic sequence related to schizophrenia, I must have been the only person in the history of both my parents’ families to be unlucky enough to have sufficient triggers to bring about this illness.
