I think often depression develops when one has an ongoing struggle for years and years. Something you cannot solve no matter how hard you try. It could be a physical disability, a mental disorder or addiction. With all those things there is a tendency that no matter how hard one tries to overcome it, it just might not work. Over the years a deep depression can develop.
In a way it is a systemic issue. Because if you try and try and no matter what you do, you can't fix your issues in the system you have to act in, what can you realistically do next.
- lioeters 4y agoI was thinking how addiction and depression are not always a simple cause-and-effect relationship. Sometimes it's the other way around, as in self-medicating behavior ("to drown your sorrow in a bottle"), and other times they're aspects of a larger complex feedback loop. The root cause of depression and suicidal ideation can be an intertwined whole, both inside and outside oneself, arising from the interactions between the self and the social environment, including family, work, media landscape, relationships and collective psychology.
