Is Depression/Annnxiety from the Bullshit You Experience or are You Prone to it?

RE: Is Depression/Annnxiety from the Bullshit You Experience or are You Prone to it?
Also, this is for a specific personality disorder (sadly...mine), but ALL the class B ones seem to have this new information emerging, that they are more genetic than previously thought.



BPD article

Quote:Genetic Studies
There is substantial scientific evidence that BPD is highly heritable—a finding that suggests that brain abnormalities of this disorder are a consequence of genes involved in brain development (similar to what is known about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and autism).

A systematic review of the heritabil­ity of BPD examined 59 published stud­ies that were categorized into 12 family studies, 18 twin studies, 24 association studies, and 5 gene-environment inter­action studies.3 The authors concluded that BPD has a strong genetic compo­nent, although there also is evidence of gene-environment (G.E) interactions (ie, how nature and nurture influence each other).
The G.E interaction model appears to be consistent with the theory that ex­pression of plasticity genes is modified by childhood experiences and environ­ment, such as physical or sexual abuse. Some studies have found evidence of hypermethylation in BPD, which can ex­ert epigenetic effects. Childhood abuse might, therefore, disrupt certain neuro­plasticity genes, culminating in morpho­logical, neurochemical, metabolic, and white-matter aberrations—leading to pathological behavioral patterns identi­fied as BPD.

Looking into anything regarding the Class B Personality disorders, and you'll see similar findings.

It used to be thought that only class A were very heritable, so these are all relatively new findings.  But over 100 studies done all back each other up.
