| Summary |
Summarizing these advances, the authors delve into the interplay of environment and genetics, showing how psychological reactions may eventually translate into biochemical changes, which form the core of depressive illness. Pointing out that mood disorders reduce the quality of life at any age, circumscribe the functioning of those afflicted, and cause hardships to the children and their families, they stress prevention and early treatment |
