Is Sadness genetic?

Depression is known to run in families, suggesting that genetic factors contribute to the risk of developing this disease. However, research into the genetics of depression is in its early stages, and very little is known for certain about the genetic basis of the disease.

Depression (also known as major depression or major depressive disorder) is a psychiatric disorder that affects mood, behavior, and overall health. It causes prolonged feelings of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyed. People with depression may also have changes in appetite (leading to overeating or not eating enough), changes in sleeping patterns (sleeping too much or not being able to sleep), loss of energy, and difficulty concentrating. Although depression is considered primarily a mental health disorder, it can also have physical features including headaches, other unexplained aches and pains, unusually slow or fast movements, and digestive problems. To be diagnosed with depression, an individual must have signs and symptoms nearly every day for at least 2 weeks. However, the features of this condition vary widely. Depression most commonly begins in late adolescence or early adulthood, although it can appear at any age. If untreated, episodes of depression can last for weeks, months, or years, and can go away and come back (recur). Affected individuals may have difficulty functioning in their daily lives, including at school or work. People with depression have a higher risk of substance abuse problems and dying by suicide than the general population. Several health conditions are closely related to depression or have depression as a characteristic feature. These include dysthymia (which has long-lasting signs and symptoms that are similar to, but not as severe as, those of depression), perinatal or postpartum depression (which occurs around or following the birth of a child), seasonal affective disorder (which is triggered by the changing of the seasons), bipolar disorder (which can include both "highs," or manic episodes, and depressive episodes), and generalized anxiety disorder. In people with schizoaffective disorder, depression or another mood disorder occurs together with features of schizophrenia (a brain disorder that affects a person's thinking, sense of self, and perceptions).

What is the root cause of all problems?

“The root cause of all problems is ignorance.” And to be clear, “problem solving” and “improvement” are learning processes. If you didn't learn, you didn't solve the problem, and you didn't improve anything.

One of my clients has been working with Steve Spear. They shared a great point he made with me, and I want to share it with you:

“The root cause of all problems is ignorance.” — Steven Spear

I can’t argue with that. If you don’t understand the root cause, you need to learn more about the problem. And to be clear, “problem solving” and “improvement” are learning processes. If you didn’t learn, you didn’t solve the problem, and you didn’t improve anything. At best you suppressed the symptoms. So… next time you encounter a problem (which is likely as soon as you put your head up from reading this), instead of asking “What should we do?” ask “What do we need to learn about this?” It will set people off in an entirely different (and far more robust) direction.
