It certainly confirms my own anecdotal experience: my ex was diagnosed with bipolar and his brother is schizophrenic.
I must say it is a source of fear for siblings of individuals with schizophrenic spectrum illnesses that they too will one day suffer from the disease. My ex did indeed suffer with his bipolar symptoms but his condition presented in vastly different ways than his brother's which was categorized as schizophrenic. It's hard to imagine that the two brothers had the same condition.
Still, it's interesting to hear about a link.
