tästä aiheesta: http://yle.fi/teema/tiedeuutiset/uutinen.shtml?id=14500 Thank you very much for your mail. I am very sorry that our study has
caused you unnecessary concern. We tried to be very careful when we
reported our findings, but the newsreports about it have not been as
cautious as they should have been.
You should not worry at all, and it sounds from your mail as if you
have a beautiful and perfectly healthy child.
When thinking about our study you should note a few things: Firstly
our findings related to the most extreme stress, i.e., the death of a
close relative during the first three months of pregnancy. Secondly,
although our study was based on millions of births, our findings were
only based on 16 children who both were exposed to this extreme stress
during the first trimester and who evetually were diagnosed with
schizophrenia. Finally this documents that schizophrenia is so
uncommon, less than 1 % of all people will develop it, that even in
the exposed where risk was increased more than 60% compared to the
unexposed, only about 1,3% will experience the disease, or in other
words almost 99 % will never develop schizophrenia.
I hope this answers your question and hope it removes any worry our
study may have caused you.
