| contents | <p>This study proposes a critical anthropogenetic examination of contemporary<br>psychiatric genetics, with particular attention to potential structural and epistemic<br>biases. It hypothesizes that genetic associations identified in psychiatric disorders<br>may be partially shaped by historically conditioned diagnostic practices, especially<br>within contexts influenced by dominant institutions such as the American Psychi-<br>atric Association. These practices may intersect with broader social determinants,<br>including race, class, and gender, potentially leading to the overrepresentation of<br>marginalized populations in psychiatric datasets. Consequently, genetic markers<br>interpreted as correlates of mental illness may, in part, reflect population structure<br>and social bias rather than universally valid biological indicators. The proposed<br>research aims to contrast data from psychiatric genomics with anthropological and<br>population genetics in order to evaluate the extent to which such biases may be<br>present and self-reinforcing.</p> |
