The role of gene-environment interactions in endocrine-sensitive life stages for shaping mental health: Focus on the RE-Mend project
The number of people seeking help for mental illness is increasing across all ages, creating a major burden for individuals, families, and the society. While personalized medicine is advancing in other fields, diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders remain largely symptom-based and fail to capture individual, sex, and gender differences in risk, manifestation, and treatment response. Early signs of illness often go unnoticed due to the lack o…
