Migrainers in my family: mother,sister,young brother, myself(3 out of 5 kids), maternal grandmother, 4 out of 5 maternal aunts, father,paternal grandmother, both paternal aunts.

  My paternal grandmother did say that, since she has gotten older she doesn’t have migraines like she used to. So maybe there is hope :o)

  I also have 1 maternal aunt that is bi-polar or manic- depressive....is that the same thing? and 3 that take meds for depression. My mother is the only one that refuses to seek treatment, because she doesn’t want to gain more weight.

 For myself the only time I had serious depression, was when I was on too much Dex. hmmmm and when I was pregnant :o) Doing great now, though.

 I hope more people respond to this post.  This is extremely interesting. Thanks to those that already posted. Take care
