Genetics

Genetics influences susceptibility to various disorders. Research has identified specific gene variants associated with conditions like depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. However, mental health is complex, involving interactions between genetic predisposition and environmental factors. While genetic testing isn't currently diagnostic, understanding genetic contributions can inform treatment approaches and risk assessment.
