[QUOTE="stevew, post: 272747, member: 130"] I’m not sure the DSM says it’s more learned behavior. It states “It is a medical condition, just like heart disease or diabetes. And mental health conditions are treatable. We are continually expanding our understanding of how the human brain works, and treatments are available to help people successfully manage mental health conditions.” The Mayo Clinic gives a good concise explanation of Causes: “Mental illnesses, in general, are thought to be caused by a variety of genetic and environmental factors: [LIST] [*][B]Inherited traits.[/B] Mental illness is more common in people whose blood relatives also have a mental illness.
