Just an FYI: gene studies tend to be methodologically flawed, and their results are wildly overblown. Neither “mental illness” nor addiction have bio-markers, meaning diagnoses are subjective and based on behaviour alone. I say this because medical approaches to these things can be disempowering, whereas analyzing one’s social/environmental context has been, at least for me, liberating. Best wishes.
