Not at all you already have your answer.
Next you will be telling me its genetic.

Ah, yes it very often can be actually, it's genetic in my Mother's side of the family.
Can't see why you would disagree with the concept?

Oh dear never had them tested. how do you know they are low or havent got lower or higher given that serotonin takes about a nanosecond for the body to make i wonder how much of the drugs you GP knows to give at any one time Or does he rely on the DSM and guess?
can you by any chance make your symptoms worse.

In what way exactly, if they're as bad as they could possibly be before medication?

What a surprise. No one gets born with depression.

I was just wondering. I have often seen people who can make things worse just by thought.

I haven't looked at your link yet, but I'm sure you could equally find a LOT of documentation of evidence of genetics playing a part in depression. A few examples:

Yes, people can do that but I don't think that that theory/fact can be completely and conclusively applied in all cases of depression.

Documentation evidence is rather weak isnt it. There is documentation evidence linking the mmr vaccine to autism.

Well how is the link you've posted any different? There may be a link between mmr vaccine and autism, just because they're all poo pooing that doc in the media at the moment doesn't mean the med profession has reached conclusion or consensus on a lot of these things.

I didnt say it could be applied in all cases. However I have found plenty of people who could make it worse but none initialy who could make it better until the lightbulb went off. If you could make it worse that means you have control over it. its a common trick for pain relief. Pipkin are you reading:D
