Causes of depression are many and varied. In my case I think it is 90% genetic and biological and I am very treatment resistant. When in a deep depression I don't want to be around anyone. All I want to do is isolate. Stay in bed, not shower, no self care, etc. I can't help it. I don't choose to be that way and I cannot choose to be happy when in it.
