Is it a case that multiple genes could be involved - CREB1, DISC1, phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B)...and possibly various others depending on the severity of the illness with epigenetic and environmental factors...
In an ideal world, or at least a step forward would be better diagnostic tools so that when for example you went to the doctor, there could be a test given to see which genes are affected/faulty when you're ill. Then with newer drugs specifically targeted to treat not just the symptoms ~ but more of the cause. Thing is though - no drug will treat your environment...but then its a step closer. Also could work out that treating the gene will help you better respond to environmental triggers - better than the current drugs that is..
Kind regards
