Sometimes it might be due to feeling like your not living up to your full potential.

There is no clear evidence that depression is caused by low serotonin levels, research suggests.
The new review, which analysed existing studies, suggests the condition is not likely caused by a chemical imbalance, and calls into question what antidepressants do.
Researchers say their findings are important as studies show that as many as 85-90% of the public believes that depression is caused by low serotonin or a chemical imbalance.

Depression is due to low competence and morality levels among the elites who attempt to order our lives.
Well, the Democrats are taking us into a depression.
Climate Change?
Guns?
Lack of abortions?
Republicans breathing?....................
Depression is caused by unresolved guilt and condemnation that makes the future look dark and bleak. Scientists focus on the chemicals produced in the brain but they are looking at the effect, not the cause.
Jesus is the answer to depression as he has taken away all guilt and condemnation of the world on the cross 2000 years ago. Once someone receives Jesus, the person has His love presence and blessings with him every moment now and throughout eternity. No room for depression.
I never suffer from depression myself.
I’m a carrier.
So there’s no depressed people that believe in Jesus? What planet are you from..

If it’s a chemical issue then depression would be a physical problem, easily solved with other chemicals.
Like it! I’m going to steal that one. ;o)

Amen brother!
The basic flaw is the premiss itself. It’s like these people took a stupid pill. They have no idea how SSRI’s intervene in depression and thus their whole theory of causation is nuts.
First depression is the result of the mind attempting to suppress information that is troubling. SSRIs and the prior direct delivery of neurotransmitter versions of anti-depressants work by overwhelming this mechanism forcing the processing of the thoughts, impressions, and memories that are being avoided.
The brain has a problem avoiding specific memories but these accesses are governed by which “subsystem” of recollection is used to access them. Nevertheless, the avoidance mechanism has a deleterious effect on information processing generally of the class of information being avoided, and this leads to suboptimal responses and often more trauma in a cycle.
The reason that sometimes SSRI’s lead to aggressive and even self-destructive behaviors is that sometimes it is the negative or aggressive ideation that is being suppressed which is the stuff that is forced into consciousness by the SSRI. This is especially the case for those who are deeply troubled and at that point paralyzed by their depression. Reinjecting energy into a system ready to explode but damped is not a wise move.
SSRIs are effective but they only treat symptoms for the most part, not root causes. This paper begins and ends with the crazed idea that the neurotransmitters are the ROOT causes themselves of depression. And then in straw man fashion knocks this proposition down in a way that discredits the tool as it works.
Like alcohol?
Did I say there were no depressed people who believe in Jesus?
What did I say was the cause of depression? Pay attention.
The leading cause of depression in the US is the illegitimate Biden regime that overthrew the government in 2020.
“So there’s no depressed people that believe in Jesus? What planet are you from..”
Belief is the start of overcoming the world but obedience to Jesus’s commands is needed too.
In 1 John 2:15, the apostle John wrote to Christian believers in the province of Asia, “Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.”
I thought everyone knew that depression is caused by soy. More soy
= more leftists = more depression.
If you have jesus your depression will ho away?...nonsense.
