<p>The US State Department has said that India will not get a blanket waiver on its purchase of S-400 missiles from Russia.</p>

<p>The statement comes after reports suggested India will receive a blanket waiver.</p>

<p>The US official insisted that there is no country-specific blanket waiver for such a major defence purchase instead there will be a "case-by-case analysis" on the sanctions mandated under the US legislation.</p>

<p>The statement also suggested that sanctions under countering America’s adversaries through the sanctions act known as Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act(CAATSA) could be applied.</p>

<p>However, the statement also added that the Trump administration does not want to make a decision that degrades the defence capabilities of India. The US had recognised India as a "major defence partner" in 2016.</p>

<p>New Delhi had announced its plans to purchase Russia’s S-400 missile systems back in 2015. The $5.43 billion worth S-400 contract was signed during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to India last year.</p>

<p>The US had earlier said it was "very upset" about Turkey's purchase of Russian missile defence systems and could impose sanctions on Ankara if it does not "get rid" of them.</p>

<p>The head of Turkey's Defence Industry Directorate had said last year that a second S-400 delivery to Turkey may be delayed beyond a planned 2020 timeline by talks on technology sharing and joint production.</p>

<p>After the Erdgoan regime brough the missile system from Russia, Washington removed Turkey from the F-35 programme, in which Ankara was a manufacturer and buyer.</p>

<p>The S-400 is the most advanced long-range air defense missile system that had gone into serive in Russia in 2007.</p>

<p>The aim of the study was to evaluate the genetic structure of the symptoms and disorders associated with anxiety.</p>

<p>According to Daniel Levey, co-author of the study, the genome analysis is the "largest study ever" to establish a link between genes and anxiety.</p>

<p>Previous studies had implied that anxiety can lead to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The presence of MAD1L1, a new discovered anxiety gene variant, was also highly noteworthy as it has already been linked to <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/mental-illness-affects-a-fifth-of-people-living-in-war-zones-226550">severe mental illness</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The co-lead author the study, Joel Gelernter, "the study provides the most substantial evidence" that identifies genetics as a basis for anxiety till date.</p>

<p>Researchers from the Yale University along with colleagues from Veteran Affairs Connecticut Healthcare System, VA San Diego Healthcare System, and the University of California San Diego conducted this study on the data provided by Million Veteran Program, an initiative of the Department of Veterans Affairs that analyses the impact of genes and lifestyle on the health of the veterans who participated in it.</p>

<p>This program uses one the world's largest biobank for genetic, medical and environmental information.</p>

<p>The research focuses on veterans who suffered from anxiety as a continuous trait and this anxiety was associated with Generalized Anxiety Disorder which is usually experienced by veterans who participated in a war away from home.</p>

Genetics foundation of anxiety and depression: Study

<p>A study conducted by The Lancet indicates that the mental health of the citizens of Hong Kong has been adversely affected by the present turmoil in the country.</p>

<p>Hong Kong has been reeling in <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/hong-kong-university-protest-fizzling-out-as-over-1000-arrested-by-authorities-263246">clashes</a> between the law enforcement agencies and the protestors for over seven months since&nbsp;June last year.</p>

<p>The population-based prospective and the most extensive research was conducted on adult participants aged 18 years or older who were assessed at nine different time points from 2009.</p>

<p>Probable depression and suspected post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to direct exposure to traumatic events because of the ongoing social unrest were assessed in the study.</p>

<p>Probable depression was estimated at 11&nbsp;per cent of the participants in 2019, compared with 1.9 per cent from 2009 to 2014.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is five-times increase&nbsp;in comparison to the social unrest in 2017 during which it was 6.5 per cent.</p>

<p>Prevalence of suspected PTSD in 2019 was estimated to be 12.8 per cent and almost 32 per cent in Sept-Nov&nbsp;last year&nbsp;alone.</p>

<p>This is approximately six times higher in comparison to 5 per cent&nbsp;briefly after the "Occupy&nbsp;Central" movement in March 2015.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One in out of every five Hong Kong resident surveyed last year&nbsp;reported probable "major depression"&nbsp;or "suspected PTSD" which is nearly one-third of the citizens of the country who have reported the symptoms of Post-traumatic disorder, according to the report.</p>
