Can I get married with schizophrenia?

  Schizophrenia occurs in young adults, and after active treatment, many patients of childbearing age are faced with the problem of marriage. During clinical care, patients and their families are very concerned about the issue of marriage.  So, can patients of childbearing age get married?  First, psychosocial factors such as adverse life events, economic status, and premorbid personality may play a predisposing and facilitating role in the development of schizophrenia. So, can patients get married? We need to be clear about what good and bad marriage will bring to the patient, and consider the impact of marriage on the patient’s life in a comprehensive manner.  Second, the pathogenesis of schizophrenia has not been fully elucidated, but experts and scholars have reached a consensus that genetics plays an important role in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia, not dominant and recessive genetics as everyone says, but a disease with a complex pattern of inheritance and multiple expressions, with a heritability of 70%-85%. The closer one is to the patient and the greater the number of relatives with the disease, the greater the risk of developing the disease. The average prevalence of first-degree relatives (first-degree relatives are a person’s parents, children, and siblings of the same parents) of individuals with schizophrenia (the first individual with schizophrenia identified in the family) is 5.6% for parents, 10.1% for siblings, and 12.8% for children. This is 0.9% higher than the general population. Monozygotic twins have a co-morbidity rate of about 50%, at least 3 times that of dizygotic twins and 40-60 times that of the general population. If one parent has schizophrenia, the risk of the child growing up with schizophrenia is about 10%, and if both parents are schizophrenic, the risk of the child growing up with schizophrenia may be about 40%.  Again, some people ask: Can someone get married even if they are unstable? Can a marriage be sustained? Haha, it certainly does. After all, marriage is between two people.
