Orchids, dandelions and cognitive genetics
The Atlantic has an excellent article on how our assumptions about genetic vulnerability to mental illness may be misplaced, as many studies have missed out how the same genetic factors may cause people to thrive but only in quite specific circumstances. One of the difficulties with psychiatry research is that it often has a sample bias, a blind spot if you […]
