Thanks for your concern. My depression started when I was ten. My parents were getting divorced and I spent my childhood being passed from parent to parent until I graduated from High School. I didn't grow up feeling very loved, but I didn't have the worst childhood. Some people suffer severe abuse and neglect. My parents didn't completely neglect me, but they could have shown more interest. My dad hit me a few times, but I wasn't severely abused or sexually abused. I have noticed that some of the most unhappy people I've met, have the same background. They grew up very wealthy and their parent's were high-acheivers. They could never feel successful because they had a very distorted view of what success was. I've had the same issue my entire life and I've found it impossible to re-define my concept of success
