So, 96-97% chance your child won't have it[/quote]

By that same token there was a 96-97% chance his older daughter wouldn't have it too.  And yet.

I'd be concerned that it's more rampant in the family than just his sister and daughter.  What about his parents, aunts, uncles, etc?  If he was hiding a sibling with schizophrenia from his new wife, I would assume that he's pretty comfortable treating the unwell people in his family tree as dirty secrets that don't get mentioned.  That's a pretty major thing not to ever come up in conversation.[/quote]

Having schizophrenia alone doesn't ruin your life. If you catch it early you can nip it in the bud with a moderate dose of antipsychotics. I've even heard of someone being able to go off them. What will really F you over is schizophrenia + drug addiction +/- life trauma

Marijuana use before mid 20s ups the schizophrenia risk.

OP should speak to a child psychiatrist[/quote]
