I have not done a lot of research on the genetic side of depression, though I know it is commonly listed as a cause of depression.
I learned on Sunday that my late father was diagnosed as manic depressive when I was just 6 years old. My mother told me, so it was a shock to her too. (Apparantly, his mother, my gran suffers too).
Even though my breakdown and inital depression was situational, knowing that there is evidence of this illness in my family made me me feel a little bit normal. Does that make sense?
I would appreciate all views on the genetic psychology of depression.
