I just don’t get why we blanket everything under genetics.. Can that actually be proven? For instance with depression, I often hear yeah it’s genetics, nothing to be done but medication. But if a parent raises a child while battling depression, how on earth would they be able to show up fully to be able to raise a healthy, emotionally supported child? If we know adverse childhood experiences and emotional neglect changes the brain, then how is it supposed to make the right amount of chemicals? So when it’s said depression is genetics, how did they actually prove that for instance?

Welcome to nature vs nurture at the intersection of generational trauma. Trauma can change our DNA. This is partially why overcoming poverty (trauma from stress) would infinitely help the population. It would take multiple generations to change and it would need to remain that way. I personally see some of the things like shootings as an outcome of generational trauma.
