Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that individuals with a biological parent who has schizophrenia are more likely to develop the disorder themselves. Additionally, growing up in a disturbed family environment can increase the risk of developing schizophrenia. Thus, Tony, who has both a biological mother with schizophrenia and was adopted into a disturbed family, is the most likely to develop schizophrenia.
