depression/pmt

I have suffered with manic-depression & anxiety on & off for years & my symptoms are heightened a week before my period. I have experienced quite alot of stress & some abuse in my life, but I know I could have a predisposition to it also due to genes (my mother suffered with her 'nerves') and/ or my personality - overly sensitive (so I'm told!) How do I find out for once whether my depression is reactive - to events in my life or just me (hereditary predisposition)? I am not presently taking the contraceptive pill but I am thinking of doing so, as I recently read an article about falling oestrogen levels prior to a period leading to depressive feelings. But in the past I have heard contradictory information that the pill can result in more mood swings not less. Can anyone help me out regarding this?

thanks, Amanda.
