Women can tell you that each baby while in the womb, has a definite personality. Why does one identical twin have schizophrenia, while the other does not?

> TinMan>i agree w/ u on the nature vs nurture b/c although its just theory, it makes the most sense to me.I believe in the nature b/c stats show that it is not uncommon if 1 member in a family has mental illness of any form, a lot of the time some1 in that same family has the illness also; even if they r raised in seperate environments. i believe that nurture can play a role also if a child grows in an environment that is full of various types of illness and abuse and if not dealt with, can cause depression b/c of the unhealthy "learned" behaviors.just my opinion
