> Would a change of behavior/lifestyle change the depression? Behavior is the result of the chemistry in your brain. You go out and socialize because it makes you feel good. Now what if you go out, socialize, and it makes you feel pain? Note, the pain itself does not have a physical cause, but that does not mean it is not real. That's what difficult depression cases are like. Depression, like everything else, is a spectrum. The fact that one person can say "ah fuck it, I'll go out" and actually feels good does not mean that forcing a depressed person to go out is the cure for depression.
