Depression, definitely runs in my family and it somehow is linked with dyslexia and ADD for us as well. We all try to refrain from medications because the don't help as they can get us hooked to that alternative to healing. Best thing I've learned is to take walks and meditate, then again we all have our own way of dealing with it. Interesting read.

Thank you for sharing this!

Very nice post and great formating. Well done!

There is only one thing I dont understand. Is depression somehow written in the genes if the risk factor for it is also family history?

"Written in the genes"-no. It's not chronic disease. There are theories that depression might be caused by "chemical imbalance" in the brain. So far the studies do not support such statement. Thanks for your comment ! :)
