 

So I have a specific question --- are first-degree relatives of those with schizophrenia more likely to get a psychotic break in general, or are they specifically genetically loaded for only schizophrenia? I ask because even though psychosis is a defining symptom of schizophrenia, not everyone who has a psychotic break necessarily has schizophrenia. Psychosis and schizophrenia can therefore be, and are, for all intents and purposes, regarded as two "different" things that afflict a person, even though they are not really different.  
I'm not asking for any kind of diagnosis, but I am a female first degree family member of a very afflicted male sibling who has schizophrenia. He has had paranoid traits even since childhood, however, while I have not, and our mother also has paranoid schizophrenia. That could be why he was afflicted so powerfully.  
I understand I a genetically loaded. Am I more likely to develop schizophrenia than I am to develop a temporary psychotic break?

Again, I am not asking for any kind of diagnoses, but several minutes ago my father was talking on the phone about social security benefits, and for a quick moment I had an unbased suspicion that he was "talking about me", and "arranging to have me be taken away someplace". I then freaked the Hell out that I may be in a very early stage prodromal schizophrenia, and I kind of had a panic attack. Could I (in the future) have a psychotic break from reality, or am I potentially very slowly descending into schizophrenia? Thoughts?  
I do plan on seeing a doctor about these things.
