hi my name is Nick. I am 17 years old turning 18 next month. Im am curious about my odds of becomming a schizophrentic. I have no known family history of the dissorder, however, i read that if your mom was sick while pregnant it may cause it to happen. My mom had the chiken pox while pregnant with me and i was born healthy and fine and the doctors were not worried. im wondering if it might cause me to become schizophrentic in a few years. i have no known symptoms really that cant be explained by anxiety. for example im always worried i have sickness. i worried about brain tumors for over a year until i got an MRI and then moved onto other worries. Im am most likely i hypochondriac and i have alot of anxiety symptoms like lightheadedness and constant worry. I now am obsessing about becoming mentaly ill and it happend after i read about it aftyer seeing it on tv. i later found out about my moms chicken pox which inhanced my worry. please write back soon. thank you
