What actually causes depression ?

Answer 1

one main factor is living in a country like the United States. It's such as dysfunctional culture that any sane individual is likely to fall prey to depression sooner or later. Probably due to the fact that this is such a blatantly materialistic culture that is so lacking in spirituality....which is not necessarily the same as "religion" by the way. So we have a bunch of people here who keep chasing after the next shiny object, or maybe don't even have the money to do that, and when they acquire that next shiny object they find out that it didn't make them happy anyway. So they try again, and keep having the same result. After a while, they just feel this overwhelming emptiness. And I also think there are other things leading to depression, such as coming from an abusive or broken family (or both), there's seasonal affective disorder type depression, and other varieties. And then if you take Big Pharma psych drugs, not only do they not work, but they've been shown to induce a long term low level chronic depression called "dysthymia" which might even be worse than the original depression, which can often resolve on its own if you don't start taking neurotoxic antidepressant drugs.
