  I think most crazy behaviors are largely caused by a lack of being educated. When you're a little kid, you don't know how the world really works, and you don't understand science and the laws of physics, so you think imaginary friends and such could be plausible. I'd bet the effects of schizophrenia are much worse at a young age for these reasons.

    To believe that one can educate away mental illness is a wrong way to understand it. Mental illness is a physiological problem, not one of having an incorrect cognitive model of the world.

      I think it's some of both. A lot of mentally ill people are advised to have talk therapy.
