Dear , schizophrenia has different forms and less than 10% cases are hereditary. You need to talk to the psychiatrist who is treating the patient and inquire about the hereditary aspect. Secondly, I suggest you not to carry such doubts in your mind. If your son likes the girl, let them marry and lead a happy life. Future will be taken care of by them. Take care.
