Dear Steve,

The new study indicates that the reduction of cortisol, which occurs around the age of 12, is preceded two years earlier by a change in the structure surrounding a gene that regulates serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation and depression.

For her study, Ouellet-Morin analyzed 28 pairs of identical twins with a mean age of 10 years. One of the twins had been bullied at school, the other had not.

Wow. As you say, genes are changed due to bullying.

I hope that your mental health team can give you more intensive treatment than you have been getting.
