Either Nature or Nurture 

Nature and Nurture

Addiction or mental illness of the sorts like schizophrenia, ocd, bipolar etc., are these natural. Are they in the human’s body as he is born? Is the infant destined to be an addict? Is the child destined to have bipolar? Does the environment he is growing up in matter in the development of the disease? Can a healthy environment prevent disease?

On the other hand: Does illness and disease come due to just external happenings and traumas? Is the disease just because of alcohol or opium or marijuana or cocaine? Is it all the fault of these substances? Is everyone affected the same way? And if so, why don’t 90% of the people become addicts; why are addicts, addicts?

The answer, as you must have guessed, lies in a mixture of nature and nurture. But in what proportion is this mixture? Is it 50% nature and 50% nurture? 40:60?20:80?

It becomes difficult to stay as there is no method to distinguish this.

However, science has deduced certain facts that might help us in this quest of understanding the origins of the disease.

Science has discovered that

1. The disease is genetic.

So, if the disease is genetic, Nature plays the foundational role.

2. It is chronic.

This means it will exist no matter what the environment is.

3. Fatal if untreated

Here, Environment begins to play a role and it is a crucial one: Depending on the environment, the patient can be saved from early death.

4. It is primary

This means it is as important to focus on as cancer is. Ofcourse, this disease itself is like cancer of the brain. This means that the environment must be created that values the disease and doesn’t come in denial of it.

So, in these four characteristics, we have understood that both nature and nurture play crucial roles in curing the disease and coming into recovery. If we work on both, we will be able to enjoy a wonderful recovery.
