Regarding your comment about depression being all mental, that simply isn't true. It has been scientifically proven that the brain physically changes in depression. Neurotransmitters that connect with feel-good chemical dopamine, are very low in supply. The result is depression. Anti-depressants boost dopamine levels, which helps us feel better. The trick is finding the right anti-depressant. Working on emotional issues that hold us back helps us feel better yet. Finally, changing our perspective on our illness improves our lives even more.

Is there a proof what causes what? Low whateverchemical causes depression, or is low whateverchemical result of depression?
We don't chose to be depressed, it is a place where we get through series of events and mishaps, I think. But we chose how to deal with it. One has to be active and determined. One has to have that willpower and believe in themselves.
I agree that it should not be about "me me me"... and strangely enough not just for the others, but for ourselves as well. We need others and interaction with the world to thrive. Isolation and withdrawal does fuel our depression.
