It is shown by researchers that the characteristics we are born with have more impact on our personality than the

environment

we grow up in it.

However

Linking Words

, I think both of them can overlap each other. On the one hand, our

genes

have a huge role in our personality and characteristics. Many mental or psychological disorders can be transferred to us genetically.

For example

, if one of our parents or even ancestors has

or bipolar, it can be passed away to us via our

easily. It is important to know about our historical family diseases and their impact on our mental status.

On the other hand

In contrast
