Many specific brain structures and characteristics have heritability of 80% or more (e.g., the heritability of brain size is greater than 80%). This is significant because studies, including massive UK Biobank studies, find brain size correlating with IQ.

Conversion therapy doesn't correlate with suicidality
Sullins (2021)
“... But after correcting for pre-existing suicidality, SOCE was not positively associated with any form of suicidality."
"Experiencing SOCE does not result in higher suicidality, as they claim, and may sharply reduce subsequent suicide attempts. Restrictions on SOCE will not reduce suicidal risk among sexual minorities and may deprive them of an important resource for reducing suicide attempts.”
