Introduction

Researches in development reveal that both genetics and environment not only separately influence normal or abnormal functioning of the human psyche , but together and inseparably affect an individual 's manner of operating in his world (Nevid , Rathus and Greene , 2008

Environment 's influence can start as early as the nurturer 's bearing i .e . the moment of conception when the fertilized cell is immersed in the mother 's internal environment . The contention that genetics cannot be downplayed since this fertilized

cell contains genetic material that may mean the marked direction of growth towards normality or abnormality has been embraced by biologists and psychologists for many decades until now . Nature and nurture interact to mould a person into what he becomes hence psychological diss are regarded both a product of genetics and environment according to many studies . However , the degree of their influence such as at what critical times will the developing child or person succumbs to the effects of environment is observed to be crucial though . This means that the individual who has risks of developing mental illness , depends largely to these critical periods (Nevid Rathus and Greene , 2008

Abnormal psychology or the study of the development of psychological diss focuses on the interplay of genetics and environment and how most psychologists agree to the notion that though genetics increases the possibility of the development of malfunctioning ' or diss this is generally moderated by environment (Nevid , Rathus and Greene 2008
