Mental illness is not something you can just “get over,” nor is it an invention of the pharmaceutical companies (although I’m sure there are some who believe that). Even within this dedicated group of people who are all fighting for the same things — recognition that mental illness is just as real as physical illness — they is within-group stigmatization. Some mental disorders get the short shrift, or are thought to be less “real” or serious than other disorders. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), for instance, only lobbies and advocates for what it con...

Kaufman and Gelertner noted changes in certain polymorphisms (genetic differences between individuals) — that have been implicated in depression. High levels of nurturing and social support seemed to be able to counteract depression in those at a genetic risk for it. Glatt writes, “…at least regarding these specific polymorphisms, nurture beats nature.” To say, then, that autism is “genetic” is not tantamount to saying that a child will “always” be a certain way and will “never” learn certain things, and has received a sort of “genetic ...
