I didn't take the test because the Prozac has me ok right now. It was pretty severe before hand. I agree that it is hereditary. My biological father committed suicide when I was 1. My mother has been diagnosed with every form of anxiety and depression that you can think of.

I'd always blamed it on the rough things going on in my life. I figured that once I got them straightened out, the depression would go away. But now, my life is perfect. I don't have anything to complain about and I still deal with depression.

It scares me because my mom has gotten progressively worse over the years. I know this sounds mean, but she's nuts. I don't know if her ailments got worse, or all the years of different meds did it. I get worried that I might wind up that way.

Those of you who are experiencing problems, go see a doctor. You don't have to live your life like that. Please don't ever take your life. It leaves so many people behind that will never get over it. Depression is difficult, but you can get help.
