    The thing that upsets me about this article is that psychology is suppose to be a study of the mind; and when psychologist are delving into the roles played by genes and gene expression in mental illness; that is not what a psychologist is suppose to be doing as that is the role of the geneticists.  A psychologist is suppose to be figuring out mind and brain developments and or combining psychology with neurosciences Reference: www.sciencedirect.com/.../S1878929314000048 That is where they believe that they can make advancements in psychological work; and i would agree and in fact my new theory on Mind Development and Brain Development combines psychology and neuroscience but I do have to reedit it because of obvious error but it was done asap because it is so important as it involves infants and young children. nevertheless, I will redo as I also now can advance that theory explicitly Reference: itunes.apple.com/.../id1294016227?ls=1&mt=11
    I was glad to see that you allowed my comment as it do allow for discussion and I believe that that is essential to getting the right answers. I did feel a bit upset however because it do irritate me that we have being doing so much research on genes and changes in genes without doing any psychological research on the matter ever. Genes of course are changed but that seems to be after the disordes as that is when that is discovered; and yet a lot of people are convinced that they are the cause when even the experts say that there must also be a precipitating factor yet to be discovered when in fact, it is still the psychological factor and or psychological cause. Psychologist study the mind and in that respect; there are no genes in The mind. Neuroscientist study the brain and in that aspect; there are genes in the brain for expression normal activity. What happens them when they express abnormal activity I would say is that they express its it is and are thus modified for the abnormal activity as that has to continue abnormal if it is abnormal and so it can not be expressed as normal when it is abnormal. etc. Thanks again for not deleting my comment as I think discussion is okay even if people disagree. I never thought that you would leave it.
