Hello:
While the best method is to face the truth, if that truth is itself false, then the side effects of such a situation can indeed by catastrophic.
Unfortunately the psychological community is giving far too much credence to the belief that most if not all mental illness is genetic in nature; when in reality, in most cases it is nurture or in other words, a behavioral problem that can be corrected.
In my book about the Human Mind, I mention that the current psychological beliefs have caused many suicides and other tragic events to occur. One other aspect of this situation is tragic also.
The psychological community doesn't seem to realize what the end result of their error is. With those thought in mind, it is my firm belief that the genetic factor might be the most egregious one of them all.
One young man who was diagnosed as being bi-polar, became invovled with a young woman who wanted to become a mother. He said that he did not want to bring a new life into existence if that child inherited his genetic profile.
Subsequently they broke up and eventually with many other stressful ideas piling up inside his mind, this young man committed suicide. When I told this story to another "intelligent" friend of mine, he agreed whole heartedly that the young man was right not to risk becoming a father.
I have emphatically proven that in most cases these problems are all negotiable and choosing suicide would not be so readily anticipated if the prevailing beliefs in psychiatry mirrored my own.
When the accepted beliefs of any individual or community at large are in conflict with reality, untold anguish including death can be the result. How much longer must this go on???
