RE: The reason for most mental illnesses
I think it's an epigenetic issue with some and an issue with people being raised by bad parents in a bad environment. People who have a strong, healthy upbringing in a good environment don't end up with mental illnesses unless it's something genetic or a serious trauma takes place.
We've witnessed a couple of generations where the family has been dismantled and where kids grow up in high-stress environments. The increase in mental illnesses is symptomatic of that and it's not something that psychotropic medications will ever fix.
Yup. And family relations like that are very complex for people. You have to tolerate your parents, visit them, take a lot of shit etc. Of course, you don't HAVE to. You can just say fuck you and never see them again,but for most people that is almost impossible, and you would have to have experienced some really bad shit AND realized how bad it was to cut them off.
I believe most people grow up with bad parents who make our lives more stressful / complex than it needs to be.
