Genetic Depression??

I have just found out that 5 of my fathers 8 siblings including him have anger management issues, depression and suicidal tendencies....his fathers behaviour also suggested (he passed away before i was born) that he had suffered from it...what can i do?

[whodunnit]

Hi,

Firstly, see my reply to "depression and suicide inherited?" on this thread.

You ask a question about what you can do? About what? Your father's siblings? Or yourself? Sorry but you aren't clear on what you are asking.

If you're afraid of your fathers siblings then avoid them.

If you're worried about your own future and will you feel and act the same as those siblings the answer is not clear. Firstly 3 of 8 siblings apparently are not the same as these 5 so it's almost half and half, right?

Anger problems can be caused by many thjings, parental influence is certainly a big cause but so is life's events.

I see no reason, based on what you have written, to be concerned about yourself at all. Why? Well firstly you are aware of this problem and secondly you are seeking information about it. As such you would seem to be ready to deal with any such issues.
