Can Family Problems Lead To Stress And Depression?

Hello;
A few years back I was treated for major depression and I am still seeing a doctor and doing well UNTIL my son separated from his wife and asked if he could live with us for a while,this was 6 weeks ago and it has put a lot of
stress on both my wife and I. I feel as though I am being dragged back down.Could this be a result of this situation?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Family problems are one of the main reason for stress and depression. In your case, son's separation from his wife was the major set back and which triggered the depressive episode. I just want to suggest that you should take your drugs regularly and try to resolve the problem, this is best way to come on the track.

Thanks
