It makes sense to be concerned about your daughter's mental health, particularly if you are experiencing depression yourself. Your daughter's chance of developing depression may be influenced by her genes, but there are numerous other factors at play as well, such as her environment, interactions, and learnt behaviours. Focussing on your own mental health is the most crucial thing you can do because a healthy, supported parent fosters a nurturing environment that lowers your daughter's risk considerably. You can support your daughter in developing emotional resilience and a solid foundation for mental health by modelling appropriate coping mechanisms and creating a loving, safe relationship with her.
No one can predict for sure if your daughter will express/suffer from a depressive episode, but in the worst case scenario if she does, don’t worry there are plenty of treatments available that can help her recover quickly and live a productive life. Your worry will add to your troubles and so I would suggest to have patience and faith and think optimistically.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist of you are finding difficulty in managing your stress and anxiety and haven’t recovered from depressive symptoms. With treatment and therapy if needed you can recover and live a healthy fuller life. Good luck and All the best!
