[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 355781, member: 7083"] There are connections all over the place to autoimmune disorders, heart disease, cancer, etc, in people with mental illness - biological or otherwise (i.e., PTSD). In fact, I read a Cleveland Clinic study that stated that depression is as much a risk factor for coronary artery disease as smoking. So, I have to think that while there could definitely be a genetic component, I think there is a definite brain/body connection going on as well. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
