Article Highlights:

  • It was thought that a single gene determined susceptibility to depression.
  • New study finds that single gene for depression is not the case.
  • It’s thought that this new study will change future research in this field.
  • Researchers found “no evidence of an association between the serotonin gene and the risk of depression”.
  • This will stir great debate.

While searching the internet to bring you even more things that make you say hmm, I found this.  This new study not only debunks the single gene theory for depression, but it may also do the same for other conditions like anxiety disorders.

Opponents are holding firm in their belief that serotonin and the life/gene relationship causes depression and other conditions but the fight has just started.  This is a very significant finding so read and re-read this article because it matters.  What does this mean for antidepressants?  It appears that we will have to rethink the causes of anxiety and depression.  Please discuss.
