There are probably a lot of physical and mental diseases that we develop just from having stressed mothers. I'm sure that goes for having extreme anxiety and hard to treat depression.

Good points, Darrah. Stressful environments (in utero is an environment) do lead to stress in others. I think perhaps they are still figuring out how to treat extreme anxiety and depression, as well as the causes of these diseases.

Anxiety and depression can run in families generation after generation. It's a shame that society in general doesn't see these, along with stress as very legitimate problems that need attention. Dis-ease, people, dis-ease. lol
