 NEWS ARTICLE RESEARCH GENETICS SUICIDE "The takeaway is that the genetic variations, when combined with other stressors, could heighten the risk." Interesting study, that shows some links to the decisions being connected to more than one thing, and that could help us learn who is at most risk, so we can make sure they have a better opportunity to not just intervention but solutions.

 NEWS ARTICLE RESEARCH BRAIN CELLS "Researchers map gene switches and brain cell types associated with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, Alzheimer’s disease, and major depression." "Every cell in a human brain contains the same sequence of DNA, but different cell types use different genes and in different amounts. This variation produces many different types of brain cells and contributes to the complexity of neural circuits. Learning how these cell types differ on a molecular level is critical to understanding how the brain works and developing new ways to treat neuropsychiatric illnesses."

And you will find at the bottom there is a lot of information on who, and references if you want to take a deeper dive into the information.  NEWS ARTICLE RESEARCH GENETIC STUDY Any time we have more pieces to the puzzle, and better understanding, we are closer to helping change lives, and save lives. If you are in crisis or considering self-harm call or text 988, 24/7 in the States "“Many people who die from suicide have significant health conditions associated with that risk,” says Anna Docherty, Ph.D., the study’s corresponding author and associate professor of psychiatry at Huntsman Mental Health Institute at the University of Utah. “If we can use genetic information to characterize the health risks of those who attempt suicide, we can better identify those patients who need contact with the mental health care system.” The research published online on October 1 in the American Journal of Psychiatry."

"Importantly, the researchers were able to distinguish brain changes associated with disease from those linked to the use of antipsychotic medication." https://www.news-medical.net/news/20230920/New-study-maps-the-spread-of-brain-changes-in-psychosis.aspx |
