- Primary genetic risks rose for all disorders except schizophrenia, with unique trends observed for bipolar disorder.
- Assessment derived from Family Genetic Risk Scores provides insights on genetic heterogeneity across disorders.
- Social and psychiatric outcomes serve as effective indices of genetic risk, highlighting the complexities of psychiatric conditions.
