Parents pass on genetic tendencies towards depression to their kids, but then the formative years in those kids' lives may or may not trigger those tendencies.  So how the kid is raised and what things he/she has to go through in these formative years determine whether or not these tendencies will be triggered into full blown depression.

I'm definitely genetically vulnerable to depression. It's all over my father's side of the family tree like the plague. It didn't fully trigger, the first time, until the psychological abuse from my parents ground me down to nothing. It took several years, a lot of therapy and distancing myself from them to get over it.

I did become well again, for several years. Then I got M.E. out of nowhere, and the depression was back not long after. And since the M.E. may never go away, I might well be depressed for life.
