  • Title: Environmental risk factors for psychopathology.
    Author: Schlossberg K, Massler A, Zalsman G.
    Journal: Isr J Psychiatry Relat Sci; 2010; 47(2):139-43. PubMed ID: 20733257.
    Abstract:
    In the past all psychopathologies were viewed as caused by the environment. Later on case-control and family-based studies of major psychiatric disorders found genetic associations, but in many cases these findings did not survive replications. A gene-environment approach gave new hope for possible associations. Gene environment correlations emphasized that the relationship are bidirectional. However, recent meta-analyses raised doubts about the consistency of these findings as well. The review summarizes the current view on the environmental factors in the major psychopathologies.
