- Genetic Explanation
- Strong relationships between genetic similarity of family members and likelihood of both being diagnosed with depression
- Biological Etiology of Depression
- Biological Determinism
- Reductionism v holism
- Bidirectional ambiguity
- Capsi et al (2003) People who had inherited one or more short versions of the allele demonstrated more symptoms of depression and suicidal ideation in response to stressful life events.
- Diathesis-stress
- Kendler et al (1995) interaction between stressful life events and genetic predisposition
- Nature v nurture or interactionist
- Capsi et al (2003) People who had inherited one or more short versions of the allele demonstrated more symptoms of depression and suicidal ideation in response to stressful life events.

- Implications in terms of genetic counselling and biological treatment
- McGuffin et al (1996) Twin study. MZ twins concordance rate = 46% DZ twins concordance rae = 20%
- Wender et al (1986) Adoption study. Adoptees who had a biological relative with depression 8x more likely to be diagnosed with depression. 15 x higher risk of suicide
