Researchers have found that the same set of genes that make us prone to depression could also lead us to positivity in life.

The findings showed that cognitive biases occur when people consistently interpret situations though particular mental ‘filters.’

“We suggest that while no gene ’causes’ mental ill health, some genes can make people more sensitive to the effects of their environment — for better and for worse,” said Elaine Fox, Professor at the Oxford University in the UK.

Individuals who have a cognitive bias that emphasises negative aspects or thoughts, are more at risk of mental health disorders, researchers said.

What happens to people’s mental health is based on their environment, not because of differences in genes.

If an individual is in a negative environment, he/she is likely to develop the negative cognitive biases that lead to mental disorders.
