It’s long been suspected and suggested through quality research that a positive family history for a range of issues can point to an increase in the likelihood that such an issue will present itself. But this isn’t to say that people are “predestined” for feeling unwell or seeking treatment. Enforcing this idea and adding a new twist, a study performed over the course of thirty years in New Zealand has shown that while people with a family history of depression, anxiety, and alcohol & drug dependence, are not guaranteed to experience these conditions, they tend to suffer more intensely if and when they do; as compared to those who have no record of a particular condition in their family history.
