Depression

Why people have depression? Is it the form of being ungrateful towards life? I don’t like it when people don’t face the real problems but still get depress on little things.

Re: Depression

Depression is usually the result of having a problem. Basically it can be any problem for example job loss, lost love, fed-up of routine life and what not. There are so many causes.

Almost everyone goes through mild depression (feeling of sadness) it becomes a problem when it goes to next level though.

Re: Depression

Mild sadness is fine but I still believe that if a person start appreciating the things he has and stop looking at the things he can't afford, he/she won't be depressed. Don't you think depression is more common these days instead of olden days.

Re: Depression

I still believe no matter what situation you are in,you have to have a faith that it will turn out better. And that will minimize the depression.

Re: Depression

UZ, depression is not necessarily hopelessness. Its also when people get into victim or self pity mode so much so, that they dont go for the options that may help them to improve the situation. They just dont want to get out of that self pity.

Re: Depression

Agree with TLK....also, boredom can be depressing for some people too. Oh and the weather.
