I admire this guy and tend to trust his take on these things:
"
While there may genetic predispositions towards depression and addiction, a predisposition is not the same as a predetermination. A predisposition increases the risk of something occurring but it cannot by itself cause it to happen. The key factor is the environment. Genes are activated or turned off by the environment, including in cases of suicide, as brilliant Canadian studies have shown. Nobody is born doomed to depression, and nobody is born with low self-esteem." -- Gabor Mate MD
