Some mental health issues are unavoidable genetic destiny. Many others are a predisposition caused by failed upbringing, neglect, poor social integration, poor parenting, etc.... You won't find too many mass murderers with a fantastic pair of truly engaged parents.
As Chris Rock once said: "If a kid calls its grandmother 'momma' and its momma 'Pam', that baby is going to jail."
