Topic: Myth or Fact?

Members,
 
Myth: Mental illness is the result of bad parenting.

Fact: Most experts agree that a genetic susceptibility, combined with other risk factors, leads to a psychiatric disorder. In other words, mental illnesses do have a physical cause that are often associated with changes in brain chemistry.
