Psychiatric disorders with postpartum onset: Possible early manifestations of bipolar affective disorders
TL;DR: Results indicate that the presentation of mental illness in the early postpartum period is a marker of possible underlying bipolarity.

TL;DR: GRS of lifetime psychiatric illness can be applied to the postpartum period, which may provide clues about distinct environmental or genetic elements of post partum psychiatric disorders and ultimately help identify vulnerable groups.

TL;DR: A procedure to identify unaffected individuals with relatively high polygenic risk for schizophrenia, and contrasted them with risk-matched schizophrenia cases to generate the first known “polygenic resilience score” that represents the additive contributions to SZ resistance by variants that are distinct from risk loci is established.
Myocardial Infarction in Parents Who Lost a Child A Nationwide Prospective Cohort Study in Denmark
TL;DR: The death of a child was associated with an increased risk of MI in bereaved parents, and parents who lost a child unexpectedly, especially from sudden infant death syndrome, experienced higher RRs.

TL;DR: This article conducted a genome-wide association study of Lifetime Anxiety Disorder (n = 83 565) and an additional current anxiety symptoms (n= 77 125) analysis, finding that common genetic variation accounts for a substantive proportion of the genetic architecture underlying anxiety.
