anyone know if there‘s some truth to this? cause op didnt share a source

there’s probably better sources out there, but this what a quick search came up with
psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/insight-therapy/202207/depression-is-not-caused-chemical-imbalance-in-the-brain?amp

imo it might be a combination of genetics, hormones and trauma

interesting read, it would explain why antidepressants never really worked for me.

i’ve been in therapy for some years (on & off) and while i could work through my traumas and get rid of my anxieties, my depression is something that never really got better.

there were just times where i forgot about it.

always seems to flare up and loom over me during the holidays, hate this time of year really

we're gonna make it bros

I might not make it

U will. Trust

woulda offd myself already if I didn't have people depend on me

I GOTTA F***ING MAKE IT

Anyone else feel dont know what to do with their life?

Such a s*** year man, idk

nothing like a good dopamine crash

nvm were back

I know I'm about to get hate for saying this but the whole chemical imbalance causes mental illness stuff is just to sell medications. They can't actually diagnose people and tell them what's wrong so they figure best option is to sell them endless placebo medications. God did not make your brain imperfect. It's the capitalist/fascist world we live in that's the problem

nah i agree with you to an extent, a lot of it is just placebo. there definitely can be something wrong with your brain though. think of people with schizophrenia or adhd. i have a friend who got on adderall and it literally changed his life. i think pills aren‘t really helping for things like depression and the system we live in just worsens it

never ends does it

How the Zyprexa have me

thank god i got off thst s***

i feel like a shadow

just dropping in here to let all those here know it IS possible to make it through whatever despair you’re going through, i was you in 2018-19 my mom would say the same thing and i always hated it but now it’s nearly 2025 and i couldn’t be better you just gotta put in the work, been on top of the world for years now

ayy
