Abstract
Medical discovery occasionally involves understanding the first causes of problems before solving them. Yet, solutions to complex medical problems often come about by looking not at the beginning but rather at the middle or the final parts of the causal chain. Five new papers in this issue of the Journal illustrate this much-needed approach in the field of mood disorders. They range from an in-depth review into possible intrauterine effects of maternal depression to an experimental intervention to elucidate the effects of sleep deprivation on young people's mood regulation.
