The 5-HTTLPR gene may be associated with this condition, though that gene’s correlation with insomnia is much stronger.

(10[1])Symptoms (10[2])of the atypical form of this condition include weight gain and leaden paralysis. (10[1])The majority of people with this condition exhibit anhedonia. This condition, which is correlated with an external (10[1])locus of control and low self-efficacy, (10[2])is treated by Lexapro and Zoloft. For 10 points, name this mental state associated with persistently low mood. ■END■
