Let's try this again. I might be missing something important.***********************************
I believe that psychosocial stresses - even those that are present during infanthood - can contribute to the pathogenesis and persistence of mental illness.
***********************************
Was this the belief of mine that you were acknowledging?
1. Yes
2. No> I sense you are frustrated,
No. I am committed.
> sorry if anything I said pushed any buttons.
Psychobabble.
> Also, I said I believed that everyone that struggles chronically with depression or any other mental illness, does have a genetic predisposition that plays a major role. So, I have at leas come half way with your beliefs and where you believe your mental illness comes from : ) I understand you don't need me to agree or come half way, I'm just making the point that there is a part of me that understands and acknowledges your beliefs.
I am still at a loss as to recognize which of my beliefs you disagree with. Please feel free to elaborate. Where do we disagree? I honestly would like for you to answer this question just in case the answer might save time and energy.

climb to get there.
