Mike might be able to comment more on the genetics of mental illness.

Okay, maybe I'll retract the generalization and state that the church isn't necessarily the one to blame. But when you create a strict list of guidelines to follow and try to shape a political arena, social issues, and even tell people how to dress, the outcome can bring the "less than perfect" image onto the follower. The follower will then try to emulate more than they really are but fall short and need meds to build them back up.
