Many high achievers through history has suffered from dark periods in their lives.

A whopping 11 variants are responsible for neuroticism. If you are a pain in the .... to everyone else it could be those dozen or so genes - there is bound to be another gene in there somewhere.

Overall, it can be said that genes do affect a person's outlook and behavior.
