I want to start off by saying that I am not depressed at all. I have been a little down at times like everybody else but nothing serious. I have known peoplethat were close to me who have suffered from depression, most notable, would be my dad.
Now in my psych class we have been talking about depression, sypmtoms, tips to help and other aspects of the "disorder", but one thing that reallygot me thinking was the many different theorys of how depression hits somebody.
Is it biological? like a chemical imbalance in the brain, dealing with the dopomine supply.
Is it behavioral? for example can people really develop a learned helplessness state of mind.
Is it Cognitive? does too much self thought inflict how we feel about ourselves or our outside world.
There is many more theories out there, i just briefly mentioned the three that stuck out to me.
There is no real reason for this post other than just to see what you guys think about it? It was just real interesting to hear different peoples opinions onit in class.
If i had to pick, i would say it is behavioral, i truly think that the things you do influence how happy you really are
