It is possible but I'll be quite skeptical with any evidence they find.

i didn't read all 6 pages to the article just the first few i mean it makes sense, if you are skeptical then how do you think people get such mental illness?

not saying the page is true just curious on ur personal views of how these illness come about.

Keep in mind I'm skeptical of everything. I don't know enough of neurological or other psychological illnesses to even begin to speculate on exactly how things like schizophrenia appear in people.

I would say it's quite probable. I didn't read too much of the article either, but it does make some sense to me.

i would guess the evidence comes to light when they probably talk to the parents of people with mental illness and those people look back on medical records when they were pregnant etc... and if the commonality is the same there is your answer.
