Hello,
I just found out my sister-suffers from depression. My sister's family doctor put her on an antidepressent. She told me the holidays are really rough on her. I told her she is not alone that I am on a great site which helps people with depression. I have learned things about depression. We both need to learn not to stress out over things we can not control. She told me it is making her depressed that I don't want a Christmas tree in my apartment. I told her that I don't want it because it was something my deceased step-daughter-in-law always did for me. I just don't want to be reminded. Does depression run in familys? Can depression be chronic? I once had a doctor tell me I will always be depressed. Cathy
