Thanks, Byzantine!

Interesting: last year an analysis of 14 studies cast doubt on a genetic link in depression. Now, a new analysis of 56 studies finds a strong genetic relationship.
Quote:
The bottom line is that this new analysis provides strong evidence that stress can trigger depression and that the onset of depression is far more likely in people who are genetically vulnerable to developing a mood disorder.
That's not the whole story, but headlines and initial paragraph summaries of scientific research in the popular press can be misleading.
