Neuropsychiatric Genetics

Neuropsychiatric genetics is the study of how genetics influences mental health and brain function. It explores the role of genes in conditions like depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and autism. Researchers aim to identify specific genetic variations linked to these disorders, which can help in understanding their causes and improving treatments. By examining the interplay between genes and environmental factors, this field seeks to unravel the complexities of brain-related conditions, offering insights that could lead to better prevention and personalized medicine approaches in mental health care.
