While depressive mood patterns are a part of being human, depression itself is so much more than just a state of mind. It encompasses a physiological aspect as much as it does a psychological, causing disturbances to both body and mind.
The causes are not exactly known, and because of this depression is sometimes misdiagnosed. However, clinical depression is more than just a stress response. Depression can range from relatively minor (yet still debilitating) to severe.
“Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.” – William Gibson More importantly, acknowledge that there are many factors that play into depression, and that it’s a complex and complicated condition. If you think you or someone you know is suffering from depression, please reach out to and seek professional help.
