Of course we don't know whether or not you have a genetic vulnerability for depression. However, one thing for sure is that if you do have such a vulnerability, overwhelming stress can trigger an episode of major depressive disorder (MDD). Right now, you have an opportunity to balance out your workload and reduce your stress level so that drug treatment won't become necessary.
