Yup! Genetics.
My mother and sister are both affected, although to a lesser degree than I. I too, up until the age of 23, thought I was headed towards great things. I did very well in college, and landed a good job. Even the first few years after I crashed, I figured I'd be off the meds soon enough. WRONG!
What really makes me wonder sometimes, is where this crap was is the previous generations. Although there were a few examples of dysfunctional individuals here and there, there is no record of either suicide, or institutionalization. What the heck happened???!!!
