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

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.
The leading cause of depression in the US is the illegitimate Biden regime that overthrew the government in 2020.
I thought everyone knew that depression is caused by soy. More soy
= more leftists = more depression.
That's easy!
What they DO is cause high school kids like Kip Kinkel
to murder their parent's with the .22 rifle dad gave him
for his birthday - then take the rifle to the high school
cafeteria and start shooting his classmates.
His own mother was the psychologist who prescribed the meds, too.
It's a tragic story.
I used to live a mile from Thurston high school in Springfield, Oregon
where and when this happened in May 1998.
Are we talking about the depression that Biden is pushing.
Conflating serotonin imbalance with chemical imbalance.
“… depression is caused by low serotonin levels…”
“… suggests the condition is not likely caused by a chemical imbalance…”
A chemical, lithium, works well on the manic phase of bipolar disease, and helps prevent episodes of severe depression, so it’s likely that there is some sort of chemical imbalance occurring.
They have no idea what the “brain chemicals” are or what the proper amounts are. It’s just a scientific sounding fakery to justify the drug pushing Therapeutic State. Every one of your chronic homeless was made that way with drugs and often ECT.
What do you think happens if your supplies of adrenaline, dopamine, serotonin and GABA are cut off? Trust me, it isn’t pretty. Pharmaceuticals are not the answer. I favor a natural approach.
I think the “chemical imbalance” angle was to always sell more scrips for Big Pharma.
Depression is caused because an individual did not develop healthy coping mechanisms to stress during their early development. Clinical depression (in contrast to situational depression) reflects the result when such an individual is exposed to chronic stress that exceeds their ability to cope.
Ignorance is bliss.
I’ve always argued this.. doesn’t depression stem from bad things happening?
Pills don’t stop bad things from happening. When I’ve suffered depression I’ve known why.
Some people, like my ex wife, say “I don’t know”. There is an obvious reason, but therapy is there to get to the bottom of it.
Life is going to get very interesting when the pharmaceutical supply from China gets cut off. It won't be just a few people going nuts from failure to stay on their psychotropic meds. Millions will have an involuntary cut off of meds that need an extended tapering to avoid the consequences of a cold turkey stop.
Depression is nothing more than feeling sorry for yourself. People just need to get over it and move on with life.
