Scientists believe nearly those with depression can trace it to a genetic link. Environmental and other factors make up the other 60 percent. Research has also shown that people with parents or siblings who have depression are up to three times more likely to have the condition.What is your opinion about this question?
And should our care and treatment be upon genetic or environmental concept?
Lack of human interaction, lack of friends, family and colleagues to talk to, can contribute, I think.
Both genetic and environmental. Behavior genetics field investigates this issue. Also you might want to check "gene environment interactions" in depression.
It is of paramount importance not to forget formal logic.
Modulation factors must be differentiated of causal ones.
If you wipe out outdated psycho-analytic houses of cards, it's clear that depression an organo-functionnal illness and it' much more important to concentrate efforts on tuning the engine rather than improving the rally!
Dear Nader
Nearly all traits in human controlled by genetics but in different percentage with environment effects . Depression appear to have high frequency in certain families compared with others live in the same environment , these notes give indicator about inheritance mode of this trait .
Good Luck
