Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to clarify how genetic liability and stressful life events interact in the etiology of major depression. METHOD: Information about stressful life events and onset of major depressive episodes in the past year was collected in a population-based sample of female-female twin pairs including 2,164 individuals, 53,215 person-months of observation, and 492 onsets of depression....
