This gene business is good fodder for
the sceptic. It certainly doesn't *seem*
like mental illness is genetic, and it has
such a multitude of thoughts, reflections,
actions, intentions, ideas, memories, sensations,
perceptions, etc. in consciousness, that it is
hard to believe that *1* solitary gene can
be responsible for mental illness.

But, I think that there are two possible fallacies
in this way of thinking: one, that there are other conditions of the body and brain which own their origin to a single gene, and two, we haven't really proven what one gene is capable of in its "mental map" manifestation.

In searching on this subject, i found a really neat article here:

"Gene Linkage and Bipolar Disorder/Manic Depression by Debbie Wang.
