Objective:  To summarize what is known about vulnerability and resilience to common mental disorders, and the psychosocial factors associated with speed of recovery. Method:  Recent genetic factors are summarized, and taken together with known facts about social factors encouraging or reducing likelihood of an episode. Results:  Multiple genes are likely, controlling both vulnerability and resilience, with the manifestation in phenotype modified by environmental factors. Restitution must be thought of separately from vulnerability. Conclusion:  Instead of specific genes causing specific mental disorders, we need a more complex model.
