[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Saltah'na: [qb]I've had bouts of depression too. Mostly due to things in my life not going the right way. But I'm fine now. I am also of the belief that depression is mostly psychological rather than genetic. So she's in.[/qb][/QUOTE]Actually, it can be either psychological or genetic. I've been diagnosed with clinical depression resulting from a neuro-chemical imbalance (to borrow Treknobabble), as has my father. His father probably has/had it as well, based on my dad's observations of family life growing up. And one of my uncles committed suicide a number of years ago. So there's definitely a hereditary element there. However, I'm firmly of the opinion that most forms of depression, even if they're hereditary, are absolutely possible to overcome... but it requires, at least, some moral support from others. Drugs help too, of course�when available. I'm just saying this to give the evidence, not to divert the discussion. I just want to counter the misconception that it's purely psychological. Often, it's very definitely biological as well. [QUOTE][qb]Obviously this guy is unstable and we don't need to add an element of instability in an already unstable situation.[/qb][/QUOTE]Shouldn't that be "introducing an unstable element into a critical situation"? :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
