I feel like depression is the result of some people's life situation. They work a lot, have little to no friends or family, come home to a depressing little apartment and play video games, etc. Of course life is going to be unmotivating. I think the disparity between the "antidepressants work" and "don't work" crowd may be explained by this. Some percentage have a chemical imbalance, the others just have a life that is depressing.
They will give you antidepressants if your spouse dies, but can you really say that person is mentally ill beacuse they are sad? You'd be mentally ill if you weren't sad.
- piva00 4y agoA very sweeping statement generalising a very broad set of people. Have you ever helped a close loved one during their battle with depression? If you have some experience with this you'll know that a lot of your sweeping generalisation is easily falsifiable.
- willcipriano 4y agoYou believe nobody lives a life that the normal emotional reaction would be depression like?
- kayodelycaon 4y agoThere’s no question that life circumstances can cause depression. But to claim most depression is caused by life circumstances is quite a reach.
