My doctors diagnosed me with chronic schizophrenia, and gave me a prognosis of grave.

There are not schizophrenics.

And what we think in schizophrenia is there are genes of predisposure, and whether this is one that predisposes and then there's only a sub segment of the population that's capable of being schizophrenic.
