What are things about yourself and/or your family members that you have realized are related to epigenetics or genetics as you have grown older?
-As an adult, I have recognized that my struggles with depression and anxiety are partly genetics and epigenetics related. My parents both have these disorders as does my older brother. Both had abusive childhoods/multiple ACE’s. There is a lot of trauma on both sides of the family. I became depressed at the age of 9, out of what seemed to be the blue. What I realize when hearing stories about family members is that I was always going to be prone to it.
