(WARNING: I'm a native spanish speaker so I don't speak english very well)

my father was a schizophrenic, but I don't remember so much about him... he suicided 5 years ago

my brother was schizophrenic too, I do remember about him because all of this happened the last two years, he was on drugs, my mother always says we don't have to use drugs because of my father's genes, but well... he didn't understand

he always said he felt somebody raping him, and that our neighbours had curse him. He also said our neighbours could "listen" to his thoughts, and "communicate telepathically" with him, and they always said bad things... like he was gay, a fool, etc etc etc

he went through many doctors, he even went to a shaman, he tried to suicide at the beginning of this year and got hospitalized on a psychiatric hospital, he was OK there, but when they discharged him, he went again into drugs, and started to steal things to get money to buy drugs. He commit suicide on 6th June, the same way my dad did
