Neuroticism, major depression and gender: a population-based twin study.

Psychological medicine - 1 May 2002

Fanous A, Gardner C O, Prescott C A, Cancro R, Kendler K S

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A portion of the genetic risk factors for the personality trait neuroticism (N) may also increase risk for major depression (MD). Females have both higher levels of N and higher rates of MD than males, suggesting that these traits may be more genetically correlated in females. METHODS: Structured interviews, including a lifetime assessment for MD by DSM-III-R criteria, were administered to 863...
