1. Everything is half genetic and half environment so that you can
always blame both equally.
Schizophrenia has been found to be caused by gene DISC1 that
causes the growth of a thousand times more neural links, by axions and
dendrites from neurons, than the average Homo Sapien. This growth takes
place during the initial growth of the brain, but its effects don't
become conspicuous until life in Homo Sapien civilization gets
"serious".
Remember, everything is trying to run down. Negative feedback
mechanisms, from other systems running down, drive things up.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics is condemned by Homo Sapien
civilization. Those who take the Easy Way are officially condemned by
Homo Sapien society, and if it doesn't break a Homo Sapien law, it is
punished by the mental health system.
2. The discovery of DISC1 is very recent. Before this discovery
schizophrenia was defined to be having too much dopamine. "The
Schizophrenian Manifesto" in
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/anything-neuroscience/ (just put "The
Schizophrenian Manifesto" in its search slot) has an irresistable method
to spike one's dopamine, therefore to encourage the brains manufacture
of "too much dopamine" to hopefully make schizophrenics the dominant
majority, but DISC1 has made this obsolete.
The Second law of Thermodynamics and the 50/50 relation of
genetics & environment are facts I have known for over thirty years.
Such discoveries, thank God, are victories over the Homo Sapien cultural
establishment. I find more and more holes in THEIR propaganda all the
time, and I, and my co-conspirators, spread them.
3. Real mental health is feeling good.
4. You can see that I am very bitter.
Starting in my teen years the mental health system has so botched
up my life that I missed out on formal education.
And before it became politically incorect, employers were allowed
to reject any one tagged "schizophrenic".
Now in my old age arthritis and a disgusting list of elderly
diseases has made the kind of work I would be given intolerable torment.
There are no more protections for the elderly, and homelessness is a
psychiatric trip and a fall away. The elderly diseases of a
schizophrenic are ignored as mental versus physical.
But, "The pen is mightier than the sword".
