'Did I inherit mental illness?'

[mitz]

the nature/nurture psychology debate has gone on for ages - I think its probably both genetics and environment/life experiences, to one degree or another, and not always a helpful debate. Though considering the environment/nurture side of things etc is good, as it helps us create healthier families/relationships, lives, culture, society etc; possibly not triggering someone with a genetic predisposition to mental illness in the first place? I don't think there are any cut or dried answers and its an enormously complex subject to study, as so many factors involved.
