The findings suggest that people who have experienced divorce are more likely to carry genetic risk factors for mental health issues, including anxiety and depression. This groundbreaking research sheds light on the complex interplay between genetics, mental health, and relationship outcomes, highlighting the importance of considering genetic factors in marital relationships and mental wellbeing. Key factors such as genetic risk, mental health support, and relationship counseling may play a crucial role in mitigating divorce rates.
