Misinformation does not help anyone regardless of the good intentions. I saw this meme on LinkIn and my comment is below…
This may be true for some mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. It would also be true to say many mental illnesses have a no fault genetic predisposition. However, many mental illnesses do have fault… Not necessarily with the person suffering from the illness… Perhaps their parents, foster parents, spouse, a stranger or a situation out of their control… But someone is often to blame for the expression of the genetic predisposition… This is called epigenetics. This “there are no losers, everyone is a winner, no one is to blame” attitude is part of the reason for the spike in suicides and drug usage in America.
