Genetics and Psychiatric Disorders
Hardbound. Over the past few years, there has been much research into, and subsequent advances in our understanding of, the genetic causes of psychiatric illness. Most neuropsychiatric diseases have a multifactorial background - both genetic and environmental factors are important for the development of the disease. The advantages of understanding the inherited component of a psychiatric disease are obviously great, and will eventually lead to more effective treatments.The chapters in this volume are specifically concerned with the latest advances in finding biological and genetic markers for psychiatric disorders. An emphasis is placed on common diseases such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorders.

Problems stemming from the misuse and abuse of alcohol and other drugs are by no means a new phenomenon, although the face of the issues has changed in recent years.

These increases are particularly prominent within the military, a population that also continues to experience long-standing issues with alcohol abuse. The problem of substance abuse within the military has come under new scrutiny in the context of the two concurrent wars in which the United States has been engaged during the past decade-in Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom) and Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn).
