PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF DEPRESSION: DO WE HAVE ANY SOLID EVIDENCE OF INTEREST TO CLINICIANS?
Overview
This paper reviews evidence on the etiology and pathophysiology of major depressive disorder, emphasizing genetic contributions of approximately 30–40% identified through family and twin studies. It highlights that non-genetic factors, such as childhood adversity and interpersonal stress, account for the remaining susceptibility variance. The resource discusses implications for clinical psychiatry, prevention via psychosocial interventions, and the role of empirically validated psychotherapies.
