    Eight psychiatric conditions that appear very different on the surface may share important genetic influences beneath the brain’s complex biology. New research suggests that genetic variations affecting brain development could help explain why conditions such as ADHD, autism, schizophrenia, and anorexia sometimes occur together. The findings could eventually help scientists develop treatments that target biological…
