Mental Illness Mostly Caused By Life Events Not Genetics, Argue Psychologists

I know that psychopaths are born, not made.

Kind of pisses me off that so much money is spent in researching the causes of mental health problems when the actual mental health treatment system is drowning with the demand.

 

I feel like this is largely because, as with all other medical resolutions, by discovering the root the approach to treatment can be formulated. The problem there is that every patient will respond differently to treatment methods more because of neuropathy than the basis of their condition and of cof course you're correct that while the doctors and clinicians are running around blind trying to find what works on a large scale hundreds of thousands of patients are killing themselves, sinking deeper onto irreversible psychosis, and having their initial episodes of illness.

The whole nature vs nurture debate has baffled me since i first begun studying psychology in school. Of course both biochemical predisposition and environmental factors contribute to the mental state, of course the environment moreso because they exposure is greater/longer allowing natural propensity to be reconditioned essentially.

I would qualify that the natural sociopath is more common than one being forged from a life of maltreatment, but both are evidentially prevalent in history. A perfectly normal child whose exposed to abuse and neglect their entire childhood can easily devolve into a homicidal psychopath for lack of basic human understandings, and an instrinsic need to release more negativity than there are conventional outlets for.

 

I agree with the life events things because it happened to me and I'm to the point I want to die. All my life nothing ever bothered me that I didn't get right over it and I never understood why people let things bother them. Since 2006 when my mom died and 2007 my dad died and 2013 my nephew committed suicide when he came home from that war in Afganastan. I would keep on but it will take a while and I don't feel like typing all that. I can't believe so many bad things keep happening to me, after all these things the worst is realizing God ain't real. I've accepted that but I want it to not be true because I can't get over knowing he's not real.this fact has tripled my mental state and I thought it couldn't get worse before I realized this. My whole life has been a lie and now I hate who ever wrote the bible so we would believe we would have a better life after this one. I don't know how much longer I can keep going.

 

I've seen people with mental illness depression type stuff.
They get loaded up with drugs which cause side affects.
Sadly, they often don't get treated for the route cause of their depression and stuff.
You see them walking round in a daze, talking basically deliriously. Drugs might work for their early stage, but should never be more than a short term fix for these people.
Likewise with alcoholics/drug addicts etc. Its very sad.

Still, I bet the drug companies run some healthy profits from it all!
