2, depression will be hereditary
(1) the cause of depression
The cause of depression is more complex, so far has not been able to fully determine. It is generally believed that biological factors constitute the onset or predisposition, and psychological and sociocultural factors often play the role of "trigger medium".
Biological factors include genetic and biochemical factors; sociocultural factors include competitive conflicts, conflicts with traditional culture, and stressful life events; and psychological factors are mainly personality traits, coping styles with life events, and lack of social support systems in depressed patients.
(2) Is depression hereditary
Genetic factors play an important role in the development of depression, and it may not be the case that the causative gene is inherited directly, but rather that multiple genes or susceptibility qualities associated with depression are inherited.
Studies have shown that many people with depressive disorders have a family history of mental illness, and that family members of people with depression are much more likely than the general population to suffer from similar disorders, being up to 15 times more likely to develop the disease, with the closer the blood relationship, the higher the chance of developing the disease. The types of endogenous depression and bipolar depression have a higher genetic risk than other forms of depression.
(3) The probability of depression being inherited
If a family member suffers from depression in the family, the risk of its first-degree relatives (children, parents, and siblings) suffering from the disease is 2-3 times higher than in the general population. If both parents and one child suffer from depression, the likelihood of the other children in the family being depressed is 40 percent, and the likelihood of the other children in the family suffering from the same mental disorder is 25 percent.
(4) Other factors
The earlier the onset of depression in parents, the greater the risk of depression in their children. Families that present with anxiety disorders and a history of alcoholism
are also more likely to develop depression than the general population. One reason for this is that alcoholism often masks depressive symptoms because depressed people often drink to relieve pain. And so once diagnosed with alcoholism, its possible underlying cause ----- depression might go unnoticed (which is not to say that all alcoholics suffer from depression).
(5) Tips
While depression is related to heredity, it is also closely related to the environment in which the child grows up later in life. The atmosphere in a family suffering from depression is prone to be heavier than that in other families, so parents who are suffering from depression should make efforts to treat it and come out of it as soon as possible, so that the child will be able to enjoy a happy and joyful atmosphere, which is more It is good for the growth of the child to avoid it from suffering from depression.

Press for 1 minute, 2 to 3 times, then repeat with the left leg.
Exercise
Exercise should be a component of any approach to treating depression. Regular exercise can increase blood supply to the brain, improve mood and relieve mental stress. It may even sometimes have unintended effects when used alone. Some studies have shown that walking slowly for 30 minutes, three times a week, can have the same therapeutic effect as psychotherapy when studying depression. Whenever possible, choose an exercise program that you enjoy and stick to it every day. Any form of exercise will help get rid of depression, and the more energy-intensive and aerobic the workout, the better.

Regulating Nutrition and Diet

Increase intake of nutritious foods such as a variety of grains, lean meats, fruits and vegetables, fish, and low-fat dairy members. Avoiding alcohol is also important, as well as snacks, sugar, saccharin and caffeine, which can lead to a sudden intake of large amounts of calories or a feeling of euphoria followed by a return to depression.
