While I totally understand the anger that fuels your statement and all the reasons..(yes Its almost insane how focused certain areas of psychiatry are on behaviours, and hence the blame is put on the individual) its not that simple..
don't forget that many illnesses are reactive to external events and this can be due to the posession within an individual of thinking processes which are not helpfull to him or his environment..with the resultant negative feedback reducing their options, interactions, resources etc..
Plain old "death" and adversity are major culprits too.
Heres hoping brain scanning hits your local maplin real soon....
