I suppose if you want to subscribe to the "God Gene" theory, you might have some traction.
It seems lots of mental illness is arguably learned: antisocial personality disorder, paranoia, alcoholism, borderline personality disorder, agoraphobia, arachnophobia... Chemical imbalances in the brain can't be learned, but it seems much of what constitutes mental illness is based on behavioral criteria, and thus could be learned.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
