In reply to Depression/SAD caused by disfunctional parenting??, posted by bridge on October 29, 2003, at 14:21:35
My dad was always away in the Navy. My mother came from a disfuctional family herself and demanded perfection from me and my brother. Would I have these same problems if I had grown up secure in the love of 2 parents? I'll never know.
> Hi,
> I'm wondering if Depression/SAD is caused by unstable surrounding growing up. Say, my brain chemisty function is somewhat vulnerable to the illness and having disfunctional family(however you define it) triggers the illness?
> Anyone here at this forum having happy, loving family growing up(again however you define it) yet suffering from the illness anyway??
> I have been on several AD's over past two years and now trying to tame my emotion with psycho therapy along with my meds...Just wondering, any thoughts???
