Genetic vulnerability linked to childhood problems
People with genetic vulnerability for adult depression are more likely to have emotional and social problems in childhood, including symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to a study published in the journal JAMA.
The international team, from working groups of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium, found the same link with genetic scores related to insomnia, neuroticism and body mass index.
