If one twin has schizo, the chance of the ohter one also having it are much greater if the twins are identical.

Having adoptive siblings (or parents) w/ schizophrenia does not increase the likelihood of developing schizo

Pathophysiology of EPS

It is theorized that administering APMs, which are D2 antagonists, initiates blockage of dopamine receptors in the basal ganglia, thus creating a reduction of dopamine responses to the brain. This reduction = alteration in a persons movement and functioning resulting in EPS
