Causes
Various factors can enter into the development of a psychological condition - it may be genetically related, or be traceable to a certain event or events, but it may not be easy or possible to ultimately determine the origin of an individual's symptoms.
What is important to know, however, is that one should not reject or hate themselves (or others) for who and how they are, and that there are many individuals and organizations in the Kalamazoo County area who are willing and eager to help, as well as provide those with or without a diagnosis the chance to help others.
