Hereditary depression has a cure?

@sandfred You raise an interesting point, in the treatment of and living with depression. Anytime we make a change, we have to be patient to see if it will work for us. Our depression does not come on suddenly, it usually creeps up, although we may not notice it until it becomes a mountain in our lives. So, to whittle that mountain down, it takes time. There are many types of treatment that can be tried, and if one is not working, that adds more time to the mountain coming down.
Each one of us is different. The combination that has worked for me is a low dose citalopram [SSRI] and talk therapy combination. Exercise, stress relieving pastimes [crafting, reading, writing] have played a big part.
Your last sentence is a profound statement. Thank you!

When I 1st started researching my report, because Dr’s always low me off. I don’t “respond” the same as everyone else, they must assume I’m just trying to get drugs. My history started with a motorcycle wreck.. I was a teenager, I thought all was well until I got older.. in fact, the Dr that had my DNA test done was just like everyone else…she prescribed something I told her didn’t work well for me, so she did this test done (to prove her point). I’m glad I have it. But she never went over it with me, she left. So EVERYTHING I know, (which isn’t a lot) I did my own research. I think a MAJOR factor is metal from a hip replacement. I had for 16 years. Metal ions build & I have NO idea they’ll stay in my system. Just for the record…that Dr left too. The orthopedic surgeon who did my revision!
Like 5 months later. 🤷♀️
