They used to say that cancer was all in your genes to.

Just look how dumb that turned out to be.

Wise up, folks.

When did anyone EVER say cancer was all in your genes?  Not that I should be wasting time educating you, but when they say cancer is genetic they mean two things: (1) there are plenty of genetic mutations linked to cancer that are hereditary.  The BRCA mutations, for example.  And (2) there are also spontaneous genetic mutations that cause cancer, that are linked with environmental factors. As long as there has been any real knowledge of cancer its been known that some cancers run in families and some don't.

But cancer isn't depression.  There is some reason biological reason why some people get it and others don't.  I wish I understood your agenda here.  I suspect you want to establish that you and your kids are safe, you will never get depression, because you have such wonderful lives.  Or maybe you are anti-med and are trying to argue that it isn't a medical illness.

My DD and I have both had very serious depression.  We are a loving, in tact, family with no trauma.  Both she and I have had blessed lives.  Except for the depression, of course.[/quote]
