How do you define 'nothing wrong'?

That's really tragic, boss. Really a struggle within for your friend 😣

Depression is when sorrow and negativity becomes second nature. like breathing, you don't need to consiously tell yourself to breathe. You just don't see a way out of it.

Ppl whom have never been thru depression will never really understand how it felt. They will think its just a phase and it's a choice which the person can make to get out of. If only its that simple.

It is quite a unique point of view, is not about the negativity.
Is just the depairs and meaningless and the constant worries that drown you.

The only simple is to live in the moment if not it is pointless and meaningless.
And wasted so much time worry about things that doesn't matters.

1. No health problems.

2. No relationship problems.

3. No financial problems.

.... but still depressed because they are locked into a downward spiral of negative thought.

Prolonged depression actually altered the physical shape of the hippotalamus. So much that under stress, like a sponge, it would no longer capable of returning to its original state.

This is why sometimes you need help from psychiatrist and not just psychologist. They could prescribe you with a special medication, that is much more powerful than the normal relaxant/anti-depressant, capable of penetrating the blood-brain barrier tissues.

Depressed people need help, not because they dont want to, but because their brain is physically deformed from it.

Those medication might have some side effect,, and make you slow in a certain ways.
Have to find your individual ways to manage it. ( those that out of IMH means have certain mental capabilities to deal with it)

Sometime is not about negative thoughts, is not like u remove your negative consciously it won't happen it sub consciously.

Is all about all the support we can provide them.
I guess a lot people out there think they really know but in the they know.
Like one of the bro mentions, as those people never went it wont fully understand it unless u are someone taking care of those person.

Hope everyone have a great weekend
