Nature vs nurture yyadadayada my thoughts

[fashist]

Genetic predispostitions influence personality and the likelihood of developing certain disorders/traits, however, one's environment controls how far a certain gene would be expressed
For example, disorders such as depression and schizophrenia have a dual hit hypothesis
this means that for one to develop schizophrenia, they'd have to have a combination of an existing vulnerability (whether that's a genetic predisposition or a prenatal development issue) and a later ENVIRONMENTAL trigger (major stress event), which could be stress, cannabis, etc
With this being said, if someone grew up with an existing genetic vulnerability, but instead with a supportive environment, the development of these disorders could be prevented
Even things like the development of OCD have been shown to correlate with people who have insecure attachment styles, which stems from the parenting one receives
Idk that's just my thoughts, i could be totally wrong

I should've made the title more clickbait

I have OCD and personally I’m inclined to believe it’s genuinely genetic/something in my brain because I’ve had it since since I was a kid (second grade) and my whole life before I even knew what OCD was and I also responded ridiculously well to medications. but there are also cases of people who develop OCD from something called PANDAS from strep throat

yeah i'm not stating that ocd is entirely influenced by the dual hit hypothesis, there's just been some correlation studies which are pretty interesting
but ofc correlation doesn't equal causation, it's just another factor to consider in this whole nature vs nurture debate
i definitely think majority of ocd diagnoses are largely genetic

yeah true, the severity has ofc gone up and down through the years and that could be due to environment also

wow

 

[fashist]

wow

Wow what

 

[Born Superior]

Wow what

so which one are you the one born with genetic predisposition and got triggered more by environment?

 

[fashist]

so which one are you the one born with genetic predisposition and got triggered more by environment?

i'm not even sure yet

 

[vespertine]

even identical twins raised apart have remarkably similar incidence of pyschiatric illness. enviornment wont override genetic predisposition entirely. conditions like schizophrenia are influenced slightly by thousands of different genes. a simple dual hit explanation is bit too deterministic i'd say. sometimes the same environmental trigger will have no effect and sometimes it will trigger someone with weaker genetic liability.

theres also reverse casualty to be aware of. in something like ocd, is it parenting causing the trait or are early differences in the child causing the parents to treat them different? its a possibility. its not just biology verse environment. sometimes biology influences the environment itself. @over0 do you know what a feedback loop is? environment and biology feed into eachother and its not always clear whats what

maybe some of these environmental effects are just stories we tell ourselves for peace of mind and because we dont like leaving questions unanswered

Maybe it's personal bias that tells me environment plays a bigger role than genetics. I don't think I'm anything like any of my family, and I can trace back personality traits, opinions, etc. To certain events I experienced when I was growing up.

NoPersonality is different than illnesss, personality is 90% influenced by outside factors but certian mental illness is genetic while others are environment based
