Depression. Possible causes hereditary

Those who have experienced depression describes it similarly. It’s like a wave black, suffocating, who takes you by the throat and choking you, also take away all desire to do, think, live, in other words. Underestimated for many years as a “whim”, or “unnecessary complaints”, depression is now called the dark evil of the century and affects everyone, young and old, women and men even children with no apparent explanation.

Over the years, some studies have shown that depression can be transmitted from generation to generation and that those who are victims are often children of the people, in turn, depressed for various reasons. Depression can be caused by sudden changes (loss of job, partner, a death, a situation where you do not feel up) but can also be a consequence of excessive shyness, a character already prepared to turn in itself.

In the United States, studies of mothers of victims of post-partum depression and the children they generate have shown that children born in this situation are far more likely to become depressed or introverted adolescents. Some of them already beginning to show depressive symptoms from early childhood. It would therefore be ideal to follow closely the frequency and evolution of this phenomenon to try to prevent the spread of this sad condition.
