My father suffers from adrenal insufficiency which was diagnosed 15 years back. Since the last 2-3 years I have been suffering from stress and depression. I have consulted psychiatrist for that and my treatment is going on. I am currently a student. I wanted to know if my father disease could be hereditary and could I have been suffering the same problem. Should I be taking any precautions?
