True, these nikkas taking pills
Clinically depression is far different to the depression most people suffer. I can tell you never did science because what you quoted doesn't even make sense or supports what you're trying to say.
That's what I was trying to say on the first page. The depression OP is referring to is his state of mind, which can be solved by visiting a psychologist NOT a Medical Doctor. In the OP there's no major of Fatigue, Insomnia or hypersomnia, massive weight loss/gain or anhedonia which are symptoms of Clinical depression not depression.
Most people here had issues while growing up and now they wanna blame their depression as something wrong with their brains, lol
Not all but most people here have "unresolved business", pills aint gonna fix it for yall, you have to face whats wrong in your life.
I feel kinda depressed too but ill definitely not take any meds, fukk that shyt.

I've been depressed before but I'm not sure I know what real depression is.
I say that to mean that normally I've been depressed about something wrong in my life, from my career, to not having enough money, working hard and not getting results, a girl breaking my heart......but I can't identify with the default state being depressed and not being able to get out of it. I hope the best for anyone going through that.

Take pills and let things fix by itself?
Im not a damn doctor bruh, and obviously its a case by case situation so I cant answer that question with a blanket statement
I just know the old school thinking regarding depression is severely outdated, and somewhat insulting
If you have a chemical imbalance it inhibits you from just "figuring it out" without the aid of medicine, therapy, etc

I used to be depressed. ALL THE DAMN TIME.....You know how I beat it? I changed my mind. Seriously.
First thing I did was...
I listed things I loved, things I liked, things that made me happy, things that made me appreciative. No matter how small. I visualized myself with them, bottled that feeling and brought it to my present.
It was a daily exercise where I learned to lift my spirits from what I was thinking.
Just a tidbit of what led me to beating it....I took other steps, but this is fundamental to beating it.
Salute to all my brothers and sisters struggling with this...I know how you feel...

attitude about everything. You're like a zombie. There is no cure for depression so the best thing you can do is one try to understand what exactly it is you're depressed about and dedicate everyday to fixing those issues. You have to work at it everyday.

The world is not neatly compartmentalized into clean crisp divisions. Mental illness (psychological disorders) are often tied to physiological (the body and how it works) disorders.
"The separation of psychology from the premises of biology is purely artificial, because the human psyche lives in indissoluble union with the body."
- Carl Jung
For example, meditation had been recently documented to have numerous beneficial effects on the body. We all know how a person's mood can affect their body language, however it is also documented how changing your body language can affect your mood.
That's why if you research and pay attention you may hear or read how a lot of things such as sitting, staying indoors, may cause depression. This is because your body adapts to your habit. If you have bad habits, your body tries to make up for it. For example, if you do drugs to get high (release serotonin or dopamine, etc) eventually your body sees this extra surge in hormones and makes more receptors to make up for it. This usually results in that same dosage of drugs not being enough to give you the same high or for the same amount of time. So then you need more drugs or harder drugs to reach your high and at the same time when you crash, your lows get even lower and it's harder to deal with the fatigue and depression that comes with that so you look for more drugs and the cycle continues into an addiction.
Every action and stimulus you do to your body creates a ripple effect. Your body wants to be in balance sometimes if something is wrong in the brain, it will take something from another part of the body to create balance and then you end up with another or different issue and vice versa.
So to find a healthy solution we need to treat the cause and not the symptom. Prescription drugs usually treat the symptoms. The best solution for many things usually involves tackling the problem from different angles hence creating a healthy lifestyle.
TLDR; the mind and body are intrinsically connected. What happens in one part can affect others like a ripple effect. So changing your lifestyle may help with depression triggered by bad habits or an tragic event but it's not necessarily a cure. Everyone has a different equilibrium to maintain.
However, clinical depression is a disorder caused by a congenital chemical imbalance. This might be their equilibrium. The is no cure or fix, they just have to learn to live with it.

If I didn't have pills I'd probably kill myself or be manic (I'm bipolar). Some people really need pills unfortunately (I hate that I gotta take these for the rest of my life and we don't really know what the long term effects are)I agree with this but I have taken pills and that shyt just numbs you so you kinda have a

People just don't get depressed for no reason, dumbass. If that were the case millions more would be effected. It's usually worrying about something in the past, future, uncertainty or drugs that leads to depression.
You're another one of the many who can't wrap their head around situational depression vs clinical depression. It's not that deep fam. Just like you can't help your iq, depressed people can't help their serotonin imbalance.
