The results may encourage people who have received multiple diagnoses, the researcher believes.
Different mental disorders may have much more in common at the biological level than previously thought, according to a new, large-scale genetic study. Researchers from the University of Colorado at Boulder and Mass General Brigham in the United States say the study's findings could in the future improve the way mental illnesses are diagnosed and treated, particularly in people living with more than one. The study analyzed DNA from more than six…
