Genetic Explanation of Depression

I have clinical depression, that was diagnosed previous week. For now, they say my serotonin and dopamine level were extremely low for around a year by the moment. I’ve decided to make another research on genetic explanation of depression to find its biological reasons.

“Why are you so sad? Don’t be sad, smile, look how great life is!”

Origins of Genetic Studies

Genetic studies in correlation with depression began to be discussed as early as 1978. And despite all the evidence that genetic predispositions like having the DRD4–7r allele paired with a bad environment and a toxic upbringing inevitably lead to clinical depression (most likely in the form of bipolar personality disorder), we still continue to think about that pills are only for the sick, and we are all healthy people, of course. After all, sadness is not a temperature, right?

How do you like this — according to WHO, approximately 300 million people in the world suffer from clinical depression (and these are only those diagnosed).

In 40% of patients, a direct gene predisposition to depression can be traced. And in 2020, depression became the second most common cause of disability after cardiovascular disease. Why?

• First, clinical depression affects mood, socialization, and work performance.
• Secondly, on eating behavior, sleep and motor functions in the body.
• Thirdly, if this case is not followed up, it leads to bipolar disorder and that’s it, your stop is only medical treatment based on lithium chloride.

But you won’t say at work that you can’t come today because you mentally feel just disgusting and you don’t have the strength? It doesn’t matter if it’s the first day or the…
