Yea, and some things are genetic. But a lot of this stuff can be avoided if
you start them out young. And the stuff that can't be avoided, some of it
can at least be delayed; again, if you start out young. And then when it
does hit, it is easier managed if the individual has these coping skills of
excercize and nature.

But man, imagine the poor kid who has a genetic depression time bomb in
his/her system (say at age 28) and is raised by parents who don't follow
proper nutrition and/or excercise guidelines, plus never take the kid out
into nature.

That person is screwed from Day One.
