[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really hate this idea that something must be wrong in a family if a child has depression.  Most kids with depression come from loving, stable homes.  My DC had serious depression.  I've had serious depression.  There's obviously something genetic going on here.[/quote]
+1 Our family has depression. Pretty much everyone. They are also very successful, stay married, keep their jobs, raise their kids, stay out of trouble with the law and so on. But the depression keeps coming, generation after generation. There are some studies that show that depressed people are often very successful -- they work to keep busy. we are thankful for advances in medications.

Your tale is a lie. You can't have a family full of depressed people, yet each one is a fantastic success. Nice try, troll.[/quote]

When i was at the depths of my depression no one had any idea, unless they noticed the weight loss, because I worked so hard to get through the day and all my responsibilities.  Nothing fell through the cracks, I met all my responsibilities.  People can do this.

I think what PP was saying was that many of her relatives have been TREATED for depression.  There are many, many people out there with depression who control it, manage it, and do well with occasional flare-ups.[/quote]
