question: Hello, i am 14 and i go to an Psychiatrist and i have depression what does this mean? i think it has something to do when i was 6 months and i lost my mother, when i was 6 months old my mother left me because she claimed that she wasn t ready to take care of me. this really had me thinking and i even cry just to think about it. My dad and my grandmother on my dad side raised me, i am 14 years old. and my mother had this mental illness because when i was born i had this internal henrage or something like that. and my dad told me a long story about it. Does this has any effect on people to have depression?
