....just a short comment from almost 80... I believe I was "born anxious and slightly depressed" sort of my nature; you can see videos of, for instance, four toddlers... one will be shy, another sad, one obviously happy and the other, well , another personality. I was shy and not a joiner but able to get by as a child, a teen, an adult and now a senior but have had depression on and off and my last yeas on earth are not too joyful... is this possible to be born with a personality trait sort of nature vs nurture?

Sorry to read yur difficult days. Yes I do believe we are born with this horrible situation. Hereditary, my Mom had shock treatments hospitalized and many more mental issues her sister committed suicide, my sister also had issues like me and family.. Yes to me, we are born with this and as we get older it seems to go into full bloom. 🙁
