[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was dx'd with clinical depression at 12---it was v clearly a chemical imbalance, no environmental factors. It took five meds to find the right one, and several bad therapists before we found one that works.  It's always going to be there, I'll probably always be on meds, but it's manageable.[/quote]
I don't think you understand "enviornmental" factors. Everyone has them. It's a long process to learn which ones weren't positive.[/quote]

I had a happy childhood and a very supportive family, no history of abuse or PTSD or anything. But thanks for telling me about my own mental health, I totally appreciate the insight from a random anonymous stranger on the internet. [/quote]
Good thing you isolated your bad luck gene.
Incredible that the family you inherited the illness from, was perfect in every way.
Truly amazing!

I'm not saying they were perfect, but that my issue was obviously a genetic mutation and not situational.  Blaming families for medical conditions doesn't help the stigma that surrounds mental illness.[/quote]
