Here is a list of risk factors for depression as noted in a speech given by Joan Mathews Larson, PhD in September 2007. This list was taken from the book The list is taken from the book Essential Fatty Acids and Immunity in Mental Health by Charles Bates, PhD (1987, 1990). Depression among close relatives. A family history of suicide, schizophrenia, or other mental illness. Alcoholics or fanatic teetotalers in family tree. Any religious fanaticism in family.
