You're missing the point, I think. What they are saying is that some depression is just purely a disease and not caused by events in life, or not caused by any psychological problem. If you disagree, that's fine, but it sounds to me like you're simply dismissing that idea.
Consider it like this: most qualities in humans fall into some sort of normal distribution. Some 1% of the population are the 1% with the least natural serotonin production. Genetics play a large role in that. Could that cause of depression not exist?
- nixpulvis 9y agoI don't think I'm missing the point. And I'm not saying people aren't effected by chemical levels and biological systems I don't fully understand... what I am saying is, anyone who tells you they have a wonderful life and then tells you they are depressed is leaving out something important. Now for the critique, the OP didn't really make it clear who's idea of a wonderful life it is. I also use the word secrect as a way to throw some shade, because the word secret implies the owners knowledge of the secret, which is not alway the case here, I should have just said "... has a secret."
- newfoundglory 9y agoWhat you're saying is nonsense, and I know that for certain because I have been the person who had a wonderful life and was depressed, and I wasn't keeping anything from myself.
