Is it possible to be born with chronic depression?
My dad died one month before I was born. I'm not sure if this affected my growth as a fetus. One of my earliest memories is me around 4 years old, with my class on pre-school making father's days gifts. I remember asking the teacher if I could go to the bathroom, closing the stall and crying. After that I cleaned my tears and went back to class like nothing happened.
The same cycle has been repeating itself for the past 24 years, and I was wondering if you can be born with depression as opposed to develop it along the years.
I don't think people normally get born with chronic depression, but I suppose it can happen.
Some people do start depression extremely early though.
Have you been seeing a psychiatrist? What about a therapist? They're really integral parts of the treatment process for depression, and you need to make sure you get access to these things if you don't have them already.
I've had major depression and chronic depression for seven years, and am currently getting ECT done.

Yes I have and they never helped me. Neither did medication. But I'm sorting things out.
I was just wondering if my mom going through a hard time during her pregnancy might have caused some damage to me as a fetus.
