  1. Depression And Genetics- Is There Any Relationship?

  2. Depression is very common in today’s world. Life has become unpredictable and complicated. If you are not dealing with the loss of jobs, you may be dealing with a stressful employer or employee.

  3. If you have paid your bills, the government may decide to increase taxes, which means that there is less income for consumption. Still, as the life becomes harder, many people are isolated into their own cocoons of misery and pain.

  4. Whereas, the environment around the majority is very stressful and depressing, there are some people who may be living in a perfect environment yet very depressed.

  5. They may not be dealing with financial, social, emotional or spiritual problems, yet have been diagnosed with depression. What causes such circumstances? Is it possible that depression can be caused by genetically related factors?

  6. According to a recent study conducted in UK and made available in some popular publications, there is evidence that depression can result from genetically related factors. What Studies Reveal

  7. People who come from families of people with the tendency towards depression are likely to experience depression than those who do not. The study reveals that region on chromosome 3 is highly linked to depression, which means that the children born with such chromosomes may be depressed at some point in life.

  8. It was also established that 60% of depression cases are related to environmental and other issues while 40% of the depression cases are genetic.

  9. Some doctors are convinced that there is chance that many other genes can contribute towards depression, and studies are still being conducted to establish such facts. It is also evident that many metal illnesses are always resulting from a combination of genes rather than one of them.

  10. There is a group of scientists who believe that the link between depression and genes is the serotonin. This hormone is responsible for mood boosting. It is also known as the feel good hormone.

  11. Researchers indicate that there is a tendency of some genetically related families to have serotonin imbalances as compared to other families. This imbalance is to be related to the issues related to serotonin transporter gene in the body.

  12. Genetic depression can be triggered by the environmental factors. This makes it hard for the scientists to link depression directly to the genetics. The environment within the same family can cause depression amongst all the family members, especially if the environment is not changed. Environmental Factors versus Genetics

  13. On the other hand there is no scientist who can dispute the fact that some families experience such illnesses as compared to others. The only hope is that more research can be conducted on the subject so that proper conclusions can be made.

  14. Many people are however advised to watch out for signs of depression in case they find these cases being prevalent in their families.

  15. They should watch out for symptoms such as feeling helpless, hopeless, lonely and experiencing unexplained sadness, anger and sleeplessness. Once such symptoms are identified, the way forward can be suggested, ranging from therapies, use of supplements such as System Serene and counseling.
