The Nature-Nurture puzzle: The Risk and Factors in Mental Illness.

A lecture given by Dr.Dolores Malaspina.

In her presentation, Dr. Malaspina will discuss risk factors associated with mental illness, and what could protect someone from developing the disease. While certain circumstances could double or triple the risk of developing schizophrenia, there are also factors that could enhance our resilience and offer protection. This ’vulnerability plasticity’ suggests that we can enhance our resilience and offer protection against mental illness.
