Hello. I think it was a Psych Central article, but I was reading it, and apparently scientist in Europe have found a link between reoccurring severe depression and chromosome 3p25.26 (chromosome 3, section 3, sub section 2, band 5, part 2. I don't know what the 6 is. I just learned this 4 days ago). Has anyone heard of this? Maybe this is a step closer for many people to believe in mental health and say my genetics are causing this and it isn't "all in my head" as you say. Anyways, thought that was cool to mention. I'd post the article, but I forget where it was from. I just read it a few hours ago so. I thought it was cool information.

Thank you Nike. I am glad to see a positive coming out of the wood work. This might be a breakthrough in this area of research, and hopefully it will lead us on a positive road to discovery.
Best wishes

My spouse in August of 2014 suffered a major brain seizure and stroke due to medicines being altered. It reversed a chromosome in her brain from 4 strand to 9 strand. It was chromosome 3265. That is listed in the medical journal. I thought she was the only one but you have just proven to me that this is a problem with the medical profession. Her psychotic drug she was on was radio active and cost about $2,400 per month for just one drug. This is the side affect. In the hospital they researched it and said "no none drug substance", so it was an experimental drug they had her on. Out of protocol and liability i cannot mention the name of the drug. Since then her life has been a living hell, so has mine and she mentally bought the farm. She will never be the same again. Your situation is not the same for she has at least five different diagnosis besides PTSD. Yes, i know of this situation. I have read the article. tc. blessings.

Hey Nike,

Interesting. Here is an NHS article about the research and findings from 2011:

Genetic link to depression found - Health News - NHS Choices

It would go some way to explaining my life-long Depression caused by what they call Depressive Personality Disorder, and explain familial links regarding my mother and sister suffering.

Dave.

This is merely finding the specific heredity cause.
