My brother has pchizophrenia since being young and my mum has been diagnosed with it 2 years ago at 58 what's the chances i will get it ?

Schizophrenia often: manifests in late teen and young adult years. If your brother was given that Dx as a little child perhaps it was a different disorder such as autism. If your mom was given that Dx in her 50s, that too, may be something else, Since you are in your 30s chances of schizophrenia are lower. The best thing you can do is avoid developing an anxiety disorder or phobia by seeing a MH professional.
