So many things are the result of genetics, including mental health, and so many people choose not to believe that.
As much as mental health needs awareness, so does genetics. So many thinks could be prevented being aware of that.

This brought me chills, and it’s so sad that I can feel the emotions poured into it!!

Mary Anne, I think some things are genetically passed from generation to generation. Mental health I think should be brought to the light and not hidden away. Hopefully being aware of it existing in another family member can help us deal with it in our own lives, not feeling alone in all of this. Depression is a hard road to travel, especially when you are trying everything to change things. Keep fighting this fight, I believe in you and I know you are a very strong woman. Hugs-

A sad read, MA, not least because I related to so much of it. I've often wondered myself whether depression and those bloody black clouds are inherited to some degree or whether we only have ourselves to blame. I suppose ultimately it doesn't really matter - the effects are the same and we still have to find a way to cope. But we dont have to do it alone necessarily.
Take care, chin up (if indeed it's down!) And stay well,
Ben

There are so many things that affect state of mind and emotional wellbeing from hereditary genes, nutricianal deficiencies, misdiagnosis of long term illnesses as depression and a whole plethera of situational influences. Life can often seem insurmountable. Sending you a big warm fuzzy hug. Milly x

I can really relate to this one. I adore it.
