Cramx, I don't know if your exposure to your mother's thyroid problems in utero could have an effect on your depression, but I do know that thyroid problems often run in families, so it is a good idea to get that checked.
Do check out the "thyroid and depression" folder first, though, to read up on what tests to get and on how sometimes "normal" results can miss a thyroid problem.
The book Erin mentioned is a good one. So is Mary Shomon's "Living Well with Hypothyroidism" as well as Elizabeth Lee Vliet's "Screaming To Be Heard", which covers lots of hormonal issues for women. (I think all three books are listed on Dr. Bob's books page".
Good luck and keep us posted.
