Nature or Nurture???  Depression>>>>

Scientists from the Medical Research Counsel in the U.K., which included three different Universities, took a look at the genetics related to depression.  Here is a brief synopsis of what they found.  They found that in the 20,000 human genes, there are 44 that are linked to depression.    
What the researchers found is that some of these genes have an underlying biological relation to the nervous system, which relates to the brain.  They also found that the immune system is involved in this biological soup.  When the stress goes up the inflammatory response kicks in and then the brain gets involved by also getting inflamed. 
We all have a risk of developing depression, it is 25%.  But if we add in the factor of parents having depression the risk goes up 3 times for the child.  If we add into the mix that the child was raised in a environment with a inattentive, depressed parent we can call this part of nurture.  How well the parent was able to interact.
Depression is the #1 medical disability in the world.  Maybe they have been able to open a new door.

LENS neurofeedback acts as an anti-inflammatory.  It can help to get the brain to run in a smoother way
