Does this sound like you?

This is a poll to determine possible common factors that may relate to Post Adoptive Depression Syndrome (PADS). Please select the options that apply to you. We can discuss the options/results on a different thread later. Thanks for Participating

BTW, I have made it anonymous, so that when you vote it won't display which option you voted for....

I clicked on two. There is a huge history of anxiety in my family and also I have had huge hormonal inbalances before my hysterectomy.

This is reflective of yourself at the ONSET of PADS. For example....I was ADD no meds at the time, now I am on Straterra and Welbutrin. But I voted ADD no meds as one of my choices because thats where I was when it all started.

How would we know if there's a family history unless we've found our family and asked? Just to clarify, this post is for adoptees, correct?
