Nature or Nurture?

[tesla]

Very interesting abstract about recent pediatric research suggesting that having at least one supportive adult around can counteract genetic risk factors for depression (abstract contains a link to the full study): http://blog.sciam.com/index.php?more=1&title=can_nurture_save_you_from_your_own_genes


Also, I'm back among the living and ready to report for graffiti duty as needed.

One supportive adult can be the best protective factor for any kid facing many different risk factors. Hence why mentors can be so valuable. And a good teacher etc.
