Because nowadays you have a ton of informations, that can cause complete mess in your brain. Evolution is a slow and steady process, and technology/information in few last decades has grown more than our brain proceed. Our brain is struggling to select what we need to store in our head, and to forget the other stuff. That is not a simple task, since today you can "google" in a secound something that generations before us had to search in a libraries over significantly longer time.
Depression is common today. Some people are more likely to be depressed, some others not. That is individual. It is caused by chemical supstances called neurotransmiters, that transfer signals/informations in our brain. Mostly serotonine and noradrenaline. You can do some things to make you feel happier like food, sex, exercise, meditating... Sometimes that is just not enough. Some people feel sleepy and without any focus. You can feel most of days without strenght and willingness to do anything.
in my fishy non medical mind I always think I can outplay those states of mind. but i heard some doctors talk about that its not possible to "outplay" depression without medical help. why is that? I absolutely dont wanna believe that.
Some people can, some others can not. Most of people can't do without medical help. There is not clear line here. Also, depression itself has some levels. It is not equal at every person. I'm not talking about tratment with drugs only. Drugs help people to "cross bridge". Without working on yourself, there is no long term recovery.
ofc everybody goes through hard times and is depressed regularly. but the time we got on this planet is so short anyway, I dont wanna get fucked by those negative moods so i just go kung fu panda style with them.
It's not like every difficult moment in life causes depression. Depression is a clinical state that has bunch of clinical signs and symptoms. However, if ones mood is significantly bad over longer period, it can cause you to loose years of your life in tearms of quality. I am telling this exactly because we are here for a limited time, and it is worst if you loose best yeras of your life and when you grow old you ask yourself: What a fuck I did with my best days? That is exactly the wisdom old people have-they know that they missed something and they can't roll back time. Young people won't listen to them. Most of us must grow old to be that "smart". Most of us must hit our heads into wall to see that it hurts.
there :).
