It's the old debate. People will say that a history of mental illness in the family is proof of a genetic link, but then people with close family with mental health problems, particularly parents, will typically grow up in a more chaotic and therefore more stressful environment. Personally I think everyone has the potential for mental illness. I heard a special forces soldier saying the other day that everyone has a breaking point.
There's a brilliant documentary called "Three Identical Strangers," which is about triplets who grew up separately. I won't give any spoilers for those who want to watch it, but it's really compelling.
