There's been research discoveries in recent years. Schizophrenia has a strong genetic factor, but nothing like was previously believed.
And anyway, we are not particularly talking about a schizophrenic break. Just a mental breakdown, which may or may not be temporary. It would be too difficult to break down diagnoses, as you have already pointed out.
Think groups. Think Sociological studies. Think broad numbers. It's a comparison of those members in a fairly closed group who became temporarily or permanently mentally dysfunctional compared to similar raw numbers from regular society, less any high risk groups eliminated by Scientology's own A-J and other procedures.
Of course stress is a factor. It's the most important factor. But a study of WHAT part of what COS does that causes such incredible stress would be another study, based on the results of the first study. And physical factors.
But since Scientology is ONE body of quack science that all Scientologists have to uniformly apply, finding which part of what the cult does to people that causes this is not really necessary, at least, not straight away. The Cult of Scientology is bad. It kills people. Its application hurts the mental health of individuals. That's huge right there.
We know the factors. Lack of medical. Lack of sleep. Money stress. High anxiety over extended periods. Intimidating sec check procedures. Unresearched, unauthorized experimental mental procedures. Group and other pressures. Disconnection from family. Isolation from groups and from others. We know these things are hurting people. We don't want to fix the cult, it's a cult. We want to simply show how badly it is hurting people compared to the rest of the population.
Not a psychological study, but a sociological study. Shut them DOWN.
