This article highlights new findings of genetic analysis of psychiatric disorders. It covers a relatively new topic of precision psychiatry. Precision psychiatry is when an individual’s genome is used to assess their psychiatric disorder and allow clinical decisions to be made more accurately. There is new evidence that allows this article to conclude that psychiatric disorders are determined by genetic variants all working together. Within this evidence it was found that some of these variants are so common that everyone has a slight risk of all psychiatric disorders. This article explains how inflammation and metabolic dysregulation relates to certain depressive symptoms.
The significance of this article is outlined in how this can be adapted in the future. Mental health has one of the highest mortality rates worldwide and therefore research and new evidence that is informative and helps refine clinical approaches is extremely important moving forward. While this area of genetics is relatively new and there is much more research to be done, this article and all of the previous ones are a great start.
