Hi, Madeline & Welcome!

I have no reason to be depressed, my life is good.

This is what my (former) husband would tell me over and over again before I was diagnosed - how good I had it, which I did. Then that would make me feel guilty which led to more depression.

The thing is, if someone has a chemical imbalance in their brain ie. the illness of depression or any other mental disorder, it is what it is...an illness - not dependent on what is happening in life. (Though those may trigger depression.)

Wanted to mention that up front.
