I agree 100% with the above posters. Even if the child inherited the mental illness, i.e. depression, he/she still has choices. I don't believe that he/she is predisposed to suicide any more than anyone else in the general population.

I wouldn't worry about it if suicide is in your family. Breathe easy and have a great life! You can even with depression! Hugs, Lee
