I thought it's kinda sad.

(other thing I notice that people have this weird dichotomy of being either bad person or being ill (associated with " it's not my fault!") with nothing in between.
So....are you suggesting people with mental disorders have nothing wrong going on in their brain? Or that something like a traumatic background can't cause negative changes in the brain? Its an intresting theory....but many studies seem to indicate there are chemical/biological changes that can happen and cause symptoms.
