Melissa- because depression is hereditary dosen't mean that any chilren you might have will automatically have depression. I have nine children. Their father had asthma and we ended up with four kids with asthma. But we treat asthma. We have also ended up with one with diabetes (so far, no family hx) and we treat diabetes. We have also ended up with one with with depression (my side of the family) and we treat the depression, with Paxil , by the way. There are ways of managing illnesses and if we are to make others believe that depression is an illness just like any other then we treat it medically just like any other.It just seems that there are many reasons to worry about should you or shouldn't you have kids.Genetics is tricky . There are no definites. Follow your heart and take care of yourself right now.-Cynthia
