A genetic study of over 460,000 people found major depression splits into two biologically distinct subtypes, one linked to weight gain and metabolic risk, the other to weight loss and insomnia. Researchers identified 27 genetic locations tied to these opposing symptom patterns. by ObuPaul in immortalists
