Guest post written by Michelle Ramos, PhD. Adolescent behavior problems are often classified as either internalizing or externalizing behaviors. Internalizing behaviors include things like anxiety, ...

We used genomic structural equation modeling to investigate the shared genetics of internalizing, externalizing, and alcohol use traits, as well as to explore whether specific domains of internalizing ...

A massive global genetics study is reshaping how we understand mental illness—and why diagnoses so often pile up. By analyzing genetic data from more than six million people, researchers uncovered ...

A new study has provided new insights into the the genetic overlap among some psychiatric disorders, and can help explain why it’s not uncommon for several of these disorders to arise in the same ...

A sweeping genomic analysis reveals how psychiatric disorders cluster into five biological families, exposing shared pathways and pinpointing where their genetic roots diverge. Study: Mapping the ...

Adolescent mental health has taken a beating over the last ten years. This coincides with increasing social media use among adolescents. A new registered report in the journal Nature Human Behavior ...

Distinct psychiatric disorders have more in common biologically than previously believed, according to the largest and most detailed analysis to date of how genes influence mental illness. The study, ...

Researchers have uncovered shared genetic pathways that link multiple psychiatric disorders. These new findings have the potential to change the way psychiatric disorders are diagnosed and treated, ...
