The genetic factor plays an important role in the emergence of mood disorders, and there have been numerous studies and research in this regard and the results are as follows:
The study of twins (in different parts of the world) showed a high rate of matching of bipolar affective disorders up to 70% in single-egg twins and 20% in bipolar twins.
The incidence of mood disorders, especially bipolar disorder, is particularly high among relatives of the infected, especially first-degree relatives. If a parent has mood disorders, their children are 25% more likely to have mood disorders, and up to 60% if the parents are infected.
The effect of the genetic factor on emotional disorders increases in schizophrenia.
Most scientists agree that the genes responsible for this disease are of the predominant type (omnipotent) with incomplete effect.
Relatives of individuals with mood disorders are more likely than others to experience other types of mental disorders such as alcoholism, social phobia, and panic disorder.
