My mother suffered from depression, and I've had it somewhat off and on myself (not as bad as hers). Sometimes, I'm for the heredity part, but then sometimes I think it was a learned trait. Isn't it interesting that usually people who serve others don't usually suffer depression. I'll also heard that depression is anger turned inward.

But, I think that our environment can dictate how we handle stress, sadness, rehection, etc. and THAT, my dear, is how our family lends to us having depression or not. Did I make that sound to easy? :)Vanessahttp://notyourmotherscrazy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6376114188342014155.post-8915277909002488702009-07-16T12:17:59.116-04:002009-07-16T12:17:59.116-04:00Hi crazedmama, I understand you, but (and I don...Hi crazedmama, I understand you, but (and I don't think so)...if it is the case of genetic transmission you can't do nothing now and don't blame yourself is not your fault...what can you do is to do your best to stay well and teach your children the same, convince yourself that you'll succed ... for their good :Dalessandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02717630869734731630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6376114188342014155.post-46974629970496672222009-07-16T11:54:23.252-04:002009-07-16T11:54:23.252-04:00Thanks Alessandra for your comment!

Plus, now that I have children I'm hoping I wont pass it to them through my actions OR my genes!! If one of them does end up with depression as they grow older I'm sure I will feel some sort of guilt?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12866181421636225099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6376114188342014155.post-7191125531333931172009-07-16T09:52:49.950-04:002009-07-16T09:52:49.950-04:00This reminds me when I was complaining with my mot...This reminds me when I was complaining with my mother about the kind of education she gave me, too liberal! lol! however, what have been is gone now, I don't know if it is so important to understand the causes, well, till some extent yes... but I think it is more useful to think how to resolve.<br />Believing that the causes are genetic, may be it leads you to give up, and don't try to change the situation.<br />I know a person who overcome a severe depression, using nlp techniques, and more he became my teacher, and show me how to better live my life.<br />I wish you all the best.alessandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02717630869734731630noreply@blogger.com
