This is a good thread! True trauma and bad environment can cause or aggravate mental illness, but most psychiatrists today recognize that BiPolar, Schizophrenia and certain types of depression are rooted in the human genetic makeup. My son's Psy Dr. was not that concerned with a diagnosis. He was more concerned with getting the correct medications to ease the symptoms of Psychosis, Anxiety and Depression. I believe that this is the more modern approach. If the patient is stabilized then success is achieved. Don't spend a lot of time trying to classify them, because it won't really help them that much.
