"I think the way we are forced to live and abuse makes mental illness happen,other than trauma/brain injuries/environmental toxins."

M'kay, gotcha! How do you explain siblings who grow up in the same environment, one turns out "normal", and the other not so much.I guess the sibling who has a mental illness, is simply weaker, succumbing to his/her victimization.

If that's what you're proposing, and enough others think as you do, then I can see where the State will start rounding up persons with mental illnesses, lock 'em up, and throw away the key. Oh wait, we've already tried that tact, haven't we?

edit: to clarify I'm not an advocate for ECT
