Let us break this question down to the fundamentals. Genetics are the nature portion of the debate with the environment being the nurture. This creates an action for reaction. Example if an individual is under a great amount of stress their bodies reacts to the level of stress and compensates, neurologically. Now if this same person is under stress for a great length of time the body tries to adjust to the stress and adapts to the needs to compensate. This could cause the body to form new neurological connections and deactivate regular connects making a person react to intense periods of stress in a different way. This ultimately changes the reactions and exposes the basic genetic predispositions of illness, mental illness and cognitive reactions. The body creates a cycle of trying to gain stability even under stress. The environment forever changes the reaction to the action because of this learned sub conscience reaction. Do you feel that through cognitive therapy and change of the environment a person could create new neurological connections which would make mental illness diminish. The observation is that the environment is hard to control and change so we treat the patient with changing their reaction to the action of the environment. Isolated their brains heal but when returned to the environment the healed connections die once again and return to the negative socially performing ones of mental illness.
Please give me your experience and thoughts about this approach.
