The human mind is quite malleable. You can make yourself mentally ill, or be made mentally ill by the people around you. This fact seems to be under-acknowledged because there is a slippery slope to blaming the victims.

But just because you might have gotten yourself into something that doesn't mean you can get yourself out of it.

I'm skeptical of people who think they wouldn't be vulnerable. But even if some are not, -- some are, and you can start with the seeds of a little crazy and heal it through grounded thinking and healthy practices, or you can blow it wide open with crazed thinking, casual psychedelic use, and abusive cult practices.
