In this text, Samuel Barondes explores the relationship between genes and mental disorders. Focusing on manic-depressive disorder, Barondes discusses whether abnormalities in specific genes can lead to mental dysfunction. Barondes then argues that identification of these genes may allow us to prevent manic depression and develop new treatments.
