If your mother had it or your sister had it, you might be at risk. 这种病有遗传倾向，如果你的母亲或姐妹患过这个病，你也可能患上。 If you’ve been depressed before or have other mental health problems -- if you don’t have a lot of social support – that could be a risk factor. 如果你之前有过抑郁症或其他心理问题，如果没有得到足够的社交支持，那么就很危险了。 And one of the surprising things was that the risk factors in high-income countries seemed to be pretty similar to the risk factors in low-income countries,” she said. 有一点是，高收入国家的危险因素比低收入国家的危险因素很相似，这很令人惊讶。
