Why depression happens is fairly irrelevant. Its mostly a matter of understanding its purpose.
Depression is a natural biological reaction that tells the body to slow down and fixate on what is not working in life. You need that time to see the dark side of your own behavior and what is not bringing you contentment. Knowing your rock bottom moment is typically among the earliest stages of recovery. Its a natural and logical reaction that was developed over eons. Largely due to the complexity of human affairs. We naturally struggle with being able to look at ourselves objectively. Depression serves to get you to focus on the things causing you misery so you can know what to combat.
Think of it like any other illness. You can have a problem for quite a long time before youve done enough testing to get an adequate diagnosis on something that is wrong with you. That period before you are blindly grasping around in the dark trying to figure the problem out and doing a slow trickle of testing to process of elimination it. Yet once you know the diagnosis, the prognosis instantly improves (even if that is not to 100%)
So the key thing is to stop stigmatizing depression. Its normal human behavior. It is there for a purpose. Learn its rules and use it to your advantage.

Point 1 and 2 hit on me. I doubt there is anything that can help me. I tryed so much now i have no hope. Currently i get Sprovato or Ketamin, with no improvement so far. And the only thing you get to hear is to keep living cause something will help. I don't want to wait anymore for something sometime happening. I live with this shit for well over 20 year's now and get treatet for almost 5 year's and nothing changed to the better. I feel lonely, i feel anger, i feel guilt, i feel pain in my chest that hurts me every F'in day and i don't see any reason this can or will ever change, so why should i keep living I wish they put me in coma till they find a cure. I rather slowly rot away sleeping in a bed the next 50 year's than living a single day feeling like unaliving me every single second.

Number 1 applies to me: I have a bunch of missed opportunities, 1 i got sick through eating a sandwich too late and as a result i missed out Highschool graduation,
Number 2: when my younger sister was planning a change of room and i was about to have it, i sobbed to have the current room i already got back because of nostalgia and as a result, my younger has the room, a year later i realised it was a mistake and i got upset by it almost every day.
Number 3: at roughly the same time as my realisation of the room missed opportunity, i found out my mother is narcissistic and constantly mentally abuses me, she even tried to gaslight me when i called her out saying It's not abuse, it's your autism, it makes me want to have revenge on her and my brother, my younger defends our mother

The first two definitely feel legit and relatable (as someone with lifelong chronic depression & suicidal ideation, but the last two remind me of the college infographic I saw circling online after Anthony Bourdain's death attributing suicidal thoughts to being hangry for something healthy or you just need to drink water. And that's before the self-censorship that feels especially juvenile in this discussion. While there is correlation between physical & mental health, the handling of it here feels more conducive to people who just to dismiss depression as you just need to take your vitamins than to treat it seriously. Pretty disappointing.

I don’t really understand if im depressed sometimes because I tend to get used to it and realize it over and over again when I have some sort of trigger, Event or sensation. Overall, while being depressed you don’t only lie and pretend everything is ok, in my case I actually convince myself of it an that when I’m sad and I have no reason to, I am sort of forced to say I’m good cause there is no valid reason or no reason at all for me to feel that way, so I’m forced to present myself in a certain way. Sorry I guys if I’m unclear because of the way I wrote this impulsive comment. Is this relatable

Smack dab in the midst of one. Trying each day. It's hard, but I'm managing to pull through. My therapist thinks mine is in relation to PTSD from Iraq.
Tired of feeling so beat down all the time. I have passive thoughts of unaliving, I would never act on them. But it's hard to find joy in things. I spend time with family, and I might smile or laugh, but I don't feel joy, or happiness. Finally broken down, and my therapist is going to bring my case to his team, and see if I should try medication. I want to see if their one of the VAs that does microdosing. people say that might help me a lot.

I've had depression since I was a kid but thought I was just typically sad. I have been through some traumatic things.
As I got older I became the single parent of an disabled child in a country with little knowledge and even less resources.
I was very burnt out.
Last year, I had a breakdown of sorts and was diagnosed with MDD, among other things.
What's hard Is the episodes of deep sadness, the stigma and ignorance of most ppl about depression.
I've been told I am demon possessed and need deliverance because of this.
Yes, a part 2.

Isn't depression caused by overstress usually This stress differenciates from person to person, cause what stresses one is not a big deal for another. But there for sure seems to be a strictly physical level as well. Maybe the physical inadequacies poorly influence the mental wellbeing as well, I guess. They not only seem to do so by disabling us to do what we want to do, but also directly by evolving an abnormal low neurotransmitter level, what can cause inflammatory reactions in the brain, if I got that right.

Cause: parents.
Well, not completely, there was self isolating (due to narcissistic father and getting taught I’m not worth it. Loosing the only one, who cared for me. Getting better by myself, just to have traumatic experiences almost every year. It’s hard, when you work so hard to get better, being happy for the first time, and then some guys just think of themselves, don’t accepting a no, especially if you haven’t been flirting with them. Nor talking with them, not looking at them.

It’s a small thing but, using unaliving in this context, it makes the whole situation feel completely ridiculous and unserious. Most people should know what is meant by it, even if it is a trigger to them, but then they probably shouldn’t even click on this video. I don’t know if this is a personal issue, but it does make it sound like it isn’t as seriously taken as it should be taken. I do not accuse the scriptwriters to be unmindful but it maybe make it seem like it to some

For nutrition, just your actual diet can play a big role in your mental health. Just like if you drink alcohol a lot, it kills off the good bacteria in your gut which has been also linked to mental wellbeing. Humans have symbiotic relations with organisms that live in our gut, and we need to make them happy cause they break down the food for us! Not to mention just eating a balanced amount of calories that fuels your body to properly run. This goes for hydration too.

My depression actually came from the problems of being autistic. It wasn't just isolation I felt. I felt off in so many ways that it took until I was a young adult to see what was messed up with me. It wasn't just magnesium I needed. I needed other chemicals from various medications to help balance me out. Diet is also important but most of the time: I rely on therapy since there are times I'm feeling other emotions within my depression.

For me, the cause of my depression is a bad event in life and feeling lonely all the time. Due to a terrible event in my life, i lost all of my confidence and self-esteem and i gained a bad mental health from there. And despite the fact that I'm not alone most of the time; i still feel lonely every second. It doesn't matter if i am with them or i am alone in bed. So yeah, be careful out there people.

I may not feel as much depression on the outside but the inside is so deep that I can barely feel it. I have moments in my mind and asking myself am I worth fitting in society or do I matter but at the same time I just want to protect myself from extroversion intruders, manipulators etc. Life is still difficult without my mother and my close auntie of mine and I know God will always be here to help.

I agree that sometimes, as in my case, a certain event in life triggers depression which means you lose all meaning in your life and there is no purpose ahead. Of course that trigger event is just a trigger of something more deep inside which is very difficult to explain to people who never suffered depression or any other similat mental ilness.

1. You are right, it was begin with some big changed event. For me, it's one of many bad events I experience from: Fake love that leads to heartbreak
2. I enjoy my alone time when pandemic. I didn't get bad experience at that time, except for the first experience of feeling anxiety. I do self isolation cus I have big trust issues.

2. I sound terrible thanks to genetics
3. I have no friends & no one cares about me (& i dont care about them either)
4. Being terrible at everything & never getting better
5. Always being ignored
(Thats only some)

How the hell do I know if I have depression or no, I sometimes feel bummed and say it’s normal, sometimes feel very bad but say it’s normal, but what if it isn’t. To not go too much on that detail one can really know if his depression was not something normal when he ends himself
