Twin and family studies have shown there is a complex genetic mechanism that plays a role in vulnerability towards depressive disorders - first-degree relatives of depressed individuals sometimes have 3-fold increase in their risk of developing a major depressive disorder.

twin studies results showed that MDD is moderately heritable, estimated range around 29%-49%. in adoption studies, where genetics and environment can be controlled for, heritability is around 16%

unipolar depression heritability is estimated to be around 40-70%
