I genuinely hope that they are free of this horrid illness and that you too can live your life happy and pain free with your family. I see that Mdaisy has pasted you something really useful web links on her reply. I sincerely hope that they can help you?

Please take care and keep us all up to date with how you are all getting along.

Hi Julie

Your children inherited things from their father as well so don't knock yourself out about it.

Does not mean try to get them as healthy as possible and get them some help with their depression. I think it was on TV last month that children get more depressed then grown up realise and when you think all that they are going through not surprising that sometimes they get overwhelmed.

Look after yourself so you can be there for them. Make sure that they can always talk to you.

Hi Julie sorry to hear the difficult situation you have concerning your children and depression. I think that by taking them to the doctor it's the beginning of getting it under control now while they're young and was a good decision by you even if heart rendering

Here is a link to an article titled: Depression in Children and Adolescents from patient.co.uk which I thought you may be interested in.

Emma has given you some good links to check out too

Wishing you wellness, strength and healing through this difficult time and am sending a huge basket of a variety of fluffies to help support and comfort you all as a family

Hi Julie,

I hope that your children don't have depression but taking them to the GP is a good thing as he/she will be able to help if they have developed this horrible depression.

Have to take Daughter for blood tests to see if her vit d levels have dropped again, she is getting stressed over her A level exams and she hopes to go to uni in sept.The doc has told Son he does need sleep & fresh air and cant play on his computer all night, like we've been telling him, hope he will listen now. They've both been put on the w/list for counselling, so think we're getting there. Hugs, Julie xxx
