Description
This text explains how our genetic background can affect our emotional and psychological behaviour, especially in mood disorders such as manic depression. Focusing on two families, both with a history of manic depression, the author leads the reader through the process of discovering clues in family histories, and attempts to uncover common DNA patterns in family members now living with the disease.
