I think some mental illness is indeed genetic. Some other behavior that we ascribe to mental illness is nothing more than people satisfying their compulsions without having the constraints of society keeping them on the straight and narrow. In large part, the collapse of civil and decent society in America feeds the dark side, which allows many people to nurture their obsessions and present them as a form of mental illness. Imagine how the founding fathers would react to a gay-pride parade in Provincetown (MA) or on Castro Street (San Fran)
Unfortunately, in today's society, what used to be considerd devient or "wrong" is now considered perfectly normal. Blame the courts, the APA, the left wing sociologists, and the left-wing academics, plus a lot of the hollywood types. Have you seen the "real-life" stories on MTV and others of that ilk???? As a father, I'd like to strangle the producers.

Further thoughts: Put a normal young man or woman in isolation and feed them with a mental contaminant (e.g. massive doses of pornography, murdured victims, hitlerism, ocult/witchcraft, etc.) and over time you will have dramatically changed that persons behavior BECAUSE you have modified his mental state.

That is what society is doing to people who are subject to such mind-altering inputs. Thusly, some, if not many, mental abberations (mental illness) can be induced, just as some, if not many, can be similarily corrected.
This is why many people live dual lives, one on the surface very normal and the other (nights, away from home) are vary abnormal.

The homosexual culture, now that they have concentrated in regional areas, permit and perform the most horrendous acts of devient sexual behavior in their mini-societies on any given day or evening, because it is perceived as "normal" when those individuals enter that distored world and the risk of reproach by family or friends is minimal -- cause they're not present.
