“…Those who do not seek treatment (or who seek but do not receive treatment) will be excluded from such analyses, which could bias estimated effects of treatment. For example, belief in the positive effects of treatment has been linked with adherence to treatment and favourable response (Carter et al, 2006; Carter, Crowe, Jennifer, McIntosh, Frampton, & Joyce, 2015; Lambert & Barley, 2001; Ownby, Acevedo, Jacobs, Joshua, & Waldrop-Valverde, 2014). Whereas, negative beliefs about treatment have been associated with reluctance to seek help (Henderson et al, 2013).…”

The majority of those who experience clinical anxiety and/or depressive symptoms in the population do not receive treatment. Studies investigating inequalities in treatment outcomes rarely consider that individuals respond differently to their experience of the environment. Much of our environment is under genetic influence, via our behaviour, whereby individuals actively select their experiences. If genes influence who seeks and receives treatment, selection bias will confound genomic studies of treatment response. Furthermore, if some individuals are at high genetic risk of needing but not commencing treatment, then greater efforts could be made to engage them. The role of common genetic variation on four lifetime treatment-seeking behaviours (treatment-seeking, treatment-receipt, self-help, self-medication with alcohol/drugs) was examined in participants of the UK Biobank (sample size range: 48,106 - 75,322). Treatment-related behaviours were only modestly heritable in these data. Nonetheless, genetic correlations reveal substantial genetic overlap between lifetime treatment-related behaviours and psychiatric disorders, symptoms and behavioural traits. To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine genetic influences on treatment-related behaviours. Further work is required to determine whether genetic factors could be used alongside clinical, social and demographic factors to identify at risk groups and inform strategies which target early intervention.
