family history???

Posted by spriggy on September 25, 2005, at 21:20:58

I was just curious how many of us here have a family history (genetic) link to depressive/anxiety disorders?

My family tree is really nuts:
Father- Bipolar, OCD - his mother- Bipolar/suicide
Mother- GAD, major depression Her mother- sociopath, borderline personality disorder
Her father- major depression/alcoholic/suicide
Sister- Bipolar, ADHD
I had a maternal great grandmother that was declared "insane" and a maternal great,great grandmother that was institutionalized.
When I think of this history, it makes me even more depressed.
It's coming from both sides.
Is there any way to avoid it, even if it's genetic??
