A member asked:

Please help! i have a history of anxiety and depression no family history of schizophrenia and am 25 years old, what are my chances of developing it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depression ; anxiety: Do not lead to schizophrenia, and schizophrenia is much less prevalent (less than 1.5% lifetime prevalence) than depression and anxiety (up to 17% lifetime prevalence). Manage your depression ; anxiety with the help of cognitive therapy and relaxation training and don't worry about schizophrenia. A mental health professional can give you an accurate diagnosis and reassure you.
