@kevin-eleven saidThat sounds reasonable. Excessive verbal and physical abuse by parent's classmates and others have caused much trauma and mental illness.
Physical, mental, social.
Do you disagree?

Sometimes though mental and physical illness is biological.

@josephw saidIt's far, far more likely for mental illness to be a result of environment rather than biological. Some is, sure. But more of it (a great deal more) has a causation rather than being genetic. And some have speculated that environment can be so affective (causing affect) that those changes can later be passed down as a genetic marker.
No.

@mchill saidBack in the day, this used to be called neurosis, as a general term. Nowadays the various disorders that fall under this umbrella are managed and treated separately and somewhat differently, depending on the type of disorder. Trauma is, indeed, the beginning to these disorders, usually. The problem today is that many disorders have a long lag time between the causing trauma and the symptomatic expression of these disorders. Psychotherapy is still the best way to get at and expose these causes, not only to the therapist, but to the patient, as well.

@fmf saidTo be perfectly fair, most people have at least some inclination toward eccentricity. It becomes a matter of degree.
Do you actually believe I have the symptoms of mental illness? Are you sure you're not just saying it ~ as banter ~ because you have feelings of animosity?
