Delighted to share my second collaboration with @thementalelf.bsky.social
In this piece, I discuss the study "An encompassing Mendelian randomization study of the causes and consequences of major depressive disorder" by @joellepasman.bsky.social et al.
@thementalelf.bsky.social"Depression is associated with trait X" - but does depression cause it, or the other way round? 🤔
This study used genetics as a natural experiment to test potential causal relationships with 137 traits.
