Psychiatric Genetics

Below is a list of all the posts and interviews I’ve published on the topic of behavioral and psychiatric genetics in Psychiatry at the Margins.

The posts are shared in the order they appeared in this newsletter and are best read as a whole; they are collected here for easy browsing and rereading, with hopefully a few unexpected insights along the way.
