And to ensure positive results we should control the serotonin by drugs, food and nutrients that works on increasing its productivity and effect

Genetic factors : genetic factors as studies shows that depression it can affect the sons by around 30%, if one of the parents or grandparents was carrying this genetic traits, like any other mental illness , genes and genetic traits can be inherited.
