You are so very incorrect that I had to actually ask myself if you were serious. Mental illness has nothing to do with birth or how you were raised. Seriously? That is like saying cancer is the result of how you were raised. Mental illness is a disease, like any other. A mentally ill person is not helping their situation if they abusing alcohol or drugs just as a person who has cancer is not helping themselves if they do the same thing. Please....the next time you think of commenting, think again.
