Genetic determinism can be described as the attribution of the formation of traits to genes,
where genes are ascribed more causal power than what scientific consensus suggests …

Psychiatric disorders present distinct clinical challenges which are partly attributable to their
multifactorial aetiology and the absence of laboratory tests that can be used to confirm …
