I think you may be on to something here! It does make sense that when the chemicals in our brains get messed up and cause depression to set in, that our minds start looking for answers as to WHY were depressed. I know that I do this sometimes, hoping that if I find a REASON for it, I may be able to do something to change it. Unfortunately though, all I end up doing is frustrating myself even more, because it's not something within my control, which leads to more self-hate for being this way.
