Alot of dumb ass responses in here...

Depression is a part of existing as a human. Some people suffer more than others from it and need legit help to treat it. The causes are a wide range of different factors from genetics to trauma to seasonal changes to experiences to all kinds of shyt..

It's not caused by "your choices in life" ... that's the dumbest shyt I've heard in a while :snoop:

EVERYONE now understands the RAT RACE GAME and that they’ve been LIED TOO.



“You scrape and you save, you work yourselves half to deaths AND STILL you CAN’T afford what you REALLY WANT. You have to face the philosophy that Life SUCKS and THEN you DIE!!!!”

Vince always kept it 100. :wow:

I usually avoid these type of threads cause of the bad takes within them...but if anything, they show that mental health issues like depression need to be talked about more...so people who don't understand them can get a better understanding of them.

It's beyond "bad life decisions"... If bad life decisions were the leading cause of depression then explain rich and successful people who suffer from depression too?
:patrice:

Chester Bennington
Jason David-Frank
Robin Williams
Kurt Cobain
Anthony Bourdain
Kate Spade

Did they make bad life decisions? These were successful people that committed suicide due to depression.

Hopefully the Coli can one day mature in its discussions of mental health.

Social media, unaffordable housing, outrageous medical bills
I think social media is the main cause of depression in a lot of people because they see people living the lives they would want to live and end up comparing their lives to other people and ended up feeling depressed, unaccomplished and unattractive.

It's got to be especially rough for Gen Z. I feel for them.
:wow:

Bad decisions can cause depression but most people have depression because they have unhealed traumas
I've dealt with depression for over 15 years and it's started from a traumatic experience where I got jumped by 5 people on the way to a college party and was nearly killed. ☹️

Exactly!!!

I guarantee you Jay Z, Jeff bezos, Tom cruise all have moments of depression if not have had the actual diagnosis at some point.. It is an inescapable fact of life. Suffering.... Even michael fukkin Jordan got emotional on the last dance documentary when they questioned his methods of motivating his teammates by intimidation because the perception that he's a heartless a$$hole MADE HIM SAD...


Life choices are the cause depression tho :snoop:


I particularly find it interesting about people who say they have "no sympathy" for people who are depressed. As if they can just snap out of it if they try hard enough.

Having that type of mindset I think says more about you than it does about them

Ever increasing bills
Low wages
“Inflation”
Social Media fueled detachment from reality
Lack of human interaction
Constant propaganda
Sugar fueled diets
Big pharma
Lack of spiritual foundation
Lack of adequate coping mechanisms for depression
All while we're being constantly reassured that everything is back to normal.

2020? All those riots? All that societal change you thought might happen? No no, you're just a child who doesn't understand, we're all back to normal now. Aren't you?

Who would've thought that making everything worse would make people depressed.

When inflation was an annoyance to the rich, Paul Volcker, advisor to multiple presidents, said, "The standard of living of the average American has to decline."

We had it too good, you see. Union jobs, civil rights, women's liberation, all that. We were getting too fat, they thought. We could buy TV's and cars and even houses! This made the rich sad. "What's the point of being rich if I can't look at my workers and see misery? Paul, do something about this!"
