Yes, it can. If your parents have depression, you are two to three times more likely to suffer from depression than others.
While there is a genetic component to depression, it is not directly inherited like physical traits. Having a family history of depression can increase the risk of developing it, but environmental factors and individual experiences also play a significant role in the development of the disorder. Therapy and other interventions can help manage and treat depression, regardless of its origins.
INHERITED CHARACTERISTICS
Inherited traits are passed down genetically from parents to offspring, such as eye color or blood type. Traits that are not inherited are acquired through environmental influences or experiences, such as language proficiency or learned behaviors.
Red hair and freckles are inherited traits
Sickle cell anemia and some nerve and brain disorders are examples of inherited diseases. These inherited diseases pass from parent to child via chromosomal exchange.
It's not genetically inherited, but people who have this can get depression or anxiety later in life.

Yes, that's true! :)
Possibly. Manic depression, also known as bipolar, does run in families, and therefore, can be inherited.
5 common things that can cause depression are brain chemistry changes, hormonal imbalances, tragic life changing events such as the loss of a loved one, financial problems, or stress. Depression can also be an inherited trait.
Manic depression is also known as bipolar disorder. A person is born with susceptablity to the disorder. It often runs in families and can be inherited. But the trigger is from the environment. Something, like a relationship, causes anxiety or insecurity. This in turn starts the manic depression.

He had tried other jobs and failed. As a painter nobody wanted his paintings. And he had inherited some mental disorder from his mother's family.
Inherited conditions cannot be changed (at present), but there are effective treatments for anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder. Please see a mental health professional.
Not all depression is caused by inherited factors, but there is a very strong hereditary link. This could be due to a tendency to inherit low seratonin levels, which is one of the causes of depression.
There is no definitie genetic link that confirms that anorexia is inherited. There are theories that it could be an inherited trait. Other theories propose that a likelihood may be inherited (that is, a person may be more likely than someone else to develop an eating disorder based on a predisposition to other factor-causes like depression or BDD). Many medical professionals believe that it is a "learned" behaviour. That is, people with family members who suffer from anorexia may themselves develop anorexia not because of genetics but because they copy habits or actions of family members.
I think you mean inherited and inherited traits - in which case yes - they're the same.
