my father's depressed, my brother's depressed, my aunt and uncle
are depressed, my cousin is bipolar, as was my grandmother. and
they just figured this out, that depression is genetic, not only
bipolar disorder (which they've known for a long time).

I'm relatively sure that's where mine came from. I grew up with
people who were abused far worse than I was and they skipped this
mess. My (half) sisters, abused worse than me, did not end up
depressed. As an adult, I looked back and saw it in both parents'
lines. When I went for treatment at sixteen, their rejection was
harsh. I had to fight to stay in treatment. Little did I know I'd
opened up generations of secrets, the melancholy all wanted to hide.
IMO, genetic and stem-cell research may hold the keys to more viable
treatment of mood disorders. I hope I see it in my lifetime. I just
saw my med doc.. These damned Medicare Part D co-pays are going to
drive me to starvation -- even with Medicaid help! If my writing
doesn't succeed, I may have to give in and become someone's fucking
House Girl again, just to afford to live. NO OFFERS, I'm fighting it
until the end.

IMO, genetic and stem-cell research may hold the keys to more viable
treatment of mood disorders. I hope I see it in my lifetime. I just
saw my med doc.. These damned Medicare Part D co-pays are going to
drive me to starvation -- even with Medicaid help! If my writing
doesn't succeed, I may have to give in and become someone's fucking
House Girl again, just to afford to live. NO OFFERS, I'm fighting it
until the end.

I'm relatively sure that's where mine came from. I grew
up with people who were abused far worse than I was and
they skipped this mess. My (half) sisters, abused worse
than me, did not end up depressed. As an adult, I looked
back and saw it in both parents' lines. When I went for
treatment at sixteen, their rejection was harsh. I had to
fight to stay in treatment. Little did I know I'd opened
up generations of secrets, the melancholy all wanted to
hide.

sorry to hear it , but thanks for supporting my point
when it's support it's "my point", and when it's disagreement it's "the
people on the investigative reporting program."
i didn't see the program, but i bet the two aren't the same. your
point, and the point of others who "support" it here, is that a
supposed genetic component of addiction and depression fully
predetermines, accounts for, and justifies the fact that one is an
addict and/or depressed.
it doesn't. no one has ever observed such genes. the assumption of
their existence is based entirely on statistical correlation between
families and behaviors, which no one disputes, but for which there's
always more than one explanation.
behaviorally, "what they were is what i get" may have some truth to it,
but no more so than "what they did is what i learned" and "what i do is
what i get."
as for "support", i see two kinds. one kind enables the supported
person to continue to live with self-destructive behavior at a level of
social acceptance which relieves them of the need to change. the other
kind accepts the person without accepting the behavior and is about
people helping themselves and each other to find a way out.
both can form the basis of a support community. left to their own
devices, people will tend to drift toward the first, and i see "your
point" and the support for it as an unfortunate pull in that direction.
