Genomic Keys to Depression Could Unlock Antidepressant Response.

The article informs that genomic keys to depression could unlock antidepressant response. As a three-generation study was published with new evidence that major depression can afflict families from one generation to the next, genomic research reported associated heightened risk for depression and specific treatment response with particular genotypes. The 20-year longitudinal family study found twice the rate of depression or anxiety in children whose parents and grandparents also had depression than in children without such a history.
