So, I have at leas come half way with your beliefs and where you believe your mental illness comes from : ) I understand you don't need me to agree or come half way, I'm just making the point that there is a part of me that understands and acknowledges your beliefs.

I believe it is VERY rare that someone is simply genetically born into severe chronic mental illness. Am I wrong?
