there have been many researches that show that genes and DNA have some things to do with inheriting vulnerability or the risk of depression. So for ex: if parents or siblings have depression, one may have higher risk of developing depression compared to others. it doesn't necessarily mean that you will definitely have it.
It is genetic and can most certainly be hereditary but doesn't have to be. Anybody can suffer from depression but if it runs in your family you are at higher risk.
