Study Identifies a Signaling Molecule Involved in Resilience to Stress | Brain & Behavior Research Foundation
Some people are more resilient than others in the face of stress, and therefore generally at lower risk of developing mood and anxiety disorders. In a new study of mice published March 28, 2017 in Nature Communications, researchers identify a lipid signaling molecule that may play an important role in determining an individual’s degree of resilience. Lipids are fatty molecules

This is good, very good! A way to diagnose which disorder a person has will allow doctors to prescribe the correct medications!
I know this certainly would have helped me when at the outset, I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD) and prescribed antidepressants. Since I actually had bipolar 1, the antidepressants pushed me into a full blown manic phase.

So this will stop the misdiagnosis of people like me. This is good!
