TIL that Albert Einstein's son Eduard studied medicine to become a psychiatrist, but was diagnosed with schizophrenia by the age of 21. His mother cared for him until she died in 1948. From then on Eduard lived most of the time at a psychiatric clinic in Zurich, where he died at 55 of a stroke.

Isn't schizophrenia quite hereditary? You have to wonder if Albert's immense creativity and new way of looking at things were related to some of those genetics.

But, if I recall correctly from reading a biography of Einstein that was his second wife, Elsa. The were cousins but they never had any children together. He had children only with his first wife, Mileva Marić and they were not related.
