[quote=Anonymous]My parents are a little older than Boomers, born in 1935 and 1944. My brother and I are GenX (1976 and 1979). One thing I'm thankful for are the medical advances. I have major depressive episodes, which started at age 25 (year 2005). At that age, my dad was in the Navy in 1960 and there were only a few antidepressants available then, along with some barbituates, and maybe Valium. Also, lots of ineffective psychotherapy. I would likely be dead if that was all medicine could offer me. Also, I had testicular cancer at age 19 (year 1999). If my dad has testicular cancer at that age (year 1954), he would have been at the Naval Academy back then and there would be a 90% chance that he would die within a year. [/quote]
