Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Schizotypal personality disorder (STPD) has been found to have higher rates of prevalence among first-degree relatives of individuals with schizophrenia, compared to the general population. This suggests a genetic component to the development of STPD. Studies have shown that children of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia are at higher risk for developing various psychiatric disorders, including STPD. However, it is important to note that not all individuals with STPD have a family history of schizophrenia, and not all children of schizophrenics will develop STPD.
