Quote ="manco"my first post , my second post , so you'll see i have been consistent, also you presented one out of context line of a study for your rather arrogant "and at that stage the defence rests m'lud!"remark, i respond likewise with a counter explanation and you dismiss it out of hand because it doesn't suit you!'"
i dismissed your statement because you made the comment "i have not read much on the subject" but then go on to discount a very well researched theory on genetics. i'm sorry but your wrong. mental illness is carried in our genes in so much as the pre disposition or markers are carried by the offspring of parents that in some cases they have never met! hence the twins being used as an example. however you then bring in a side issue arround personality disorders if i remember rightly having some kind of influence on one study.
your clouding what is quite clearly fact. if your dad had deppression you are more likely to become deppressed even if you've never met your dad! is that simple enough for you????? now take that any way you want, call me a patronising Narcissistic arrogant idiot if that helps but .....i have read a little on the subject manco...unlike you!
