Lightbulb Orchid Children: Nature vs. Nurture

This is a link to a very interesting article about a new way of looking at genetic tendencies to mental disorders.

In this article:
http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200912/dobbs-orchid-gene
Orchid Children...
discussion of the positive side of genetic inherited tendencies to express depression, ADHD, anxiety, etc.

It is very interesting and does explain some genetic combinations of genes that people inherit, and why some people seem to overcome this situation.
