Yes. It is a chemical imbalance in your body. Clinical depression is not from something going on outside, like a death that makes you depressed for awhile. it is different.
Dude, I've already commented on a comment you made on another post about depression. Do some research before you start judging people with mental illness. There is already a stigma attached to those of us who suffer from depression, and we don't need ignorant people making it any worse.
Majority of mental illness is genetic, hereditary. Depression is often hereditary. It takes both environment and genetics to bring out mental illness. There is clinical depression which is treated with anti depressants. People who have Bipolar Illness will go from feeling very high to very depressed. Lithium usually controls this. Of course there are realistic reasons for depression such as loss of loved ones, loss of jobs, no money, etc.
Depression can be hereditary, genetic. Most mental illness are hereditary, genetic. Stressful Environment can bring such genetic mental illness out in a person. By having a gene for mental illness you are born with it. There is also depression from realistic natural causes.

You are correct. Mental illness is genetic, hereditary. A mental illness can remain dormant, and surface under very stressful conditions. Depression does genetically run in families. Depression is treated with anti depressants. Those with Bipolar illness can go from a real high to total depression. Schizophrenia usually can remain dormant, then show up in teen years and early twenties.
but yes, you can be born with it.
