conditions share a variety of genes The QIMR Berghoferled research published in Nature Human Behaviour identifies 509 genetic regions that contribute to both anxiety and depression This is the highest number of genomic regions ever linked to psychiatric disorders and includes 71 regions that had never been linked to anxiety or depression The internalizing disorders with the highest degree of heritability or the percentage of symptoms that can be genetically determined are major depressive disorder MDD and generalized anxiety disorder Nongenetic risk factors for both disorders include earlier life adversity parenting style and current stress exposure Neuroticism is another important risk factor It is a personality trait with a certain degree of heritability It has been linked to both anxiety and depression A genetic component to schizophrenia is less established because schizophrenics have multiple causes for their symptoms The best method to establish a genetic link is to study twins By comparing the frequency of an identical twin disorder monozygotic MZ with that of their nonidentical siblings dizygotic DZ researchers can determine the extent to which phenotypic similarities are due to shared environmental factors and how much is due to the genetic makeup of a person As the field of psychiatric genomics grows it is likely that more genetic regions will be discovered that influence anxiety and depression It is important to keep in mind however that there will always be individual differences within the supposedly rigid categories of mental health People
