There are a lot of mental disorders that are induced by neurological / physical things. I wish ADHD, ASD, Schizophrenia, SPD and more was just 'bad parenting'!

  There are environmental potentiators for each one of those, as well as genetic or neurological markers. For example with schizophrenia: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32890864/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32890864/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7234402/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7234402/ ADHD: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28477799/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28477799/ So in some ways, this is your wish. Statistically, everything about many mental illnesses get worse in poor environments for children. There are many adults who might otherwise present with schizophrenia that don’t because they had a better environment. Early childhood emotional attachment types are also relatively predictive of symptomology and psychosis in schizophrenics https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4193730/#!po=1.35135 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4193730/#!po=1.... It doesn’t invalidate the crux of your comment and I’m not attempting to say there are no neurological or genetic causes, but severity and prevalence would be categorically reduced in a world with better parental care.
