I wish depression could be explained by something as simple as 'the world sucks'. Depression is complicated for me. I hate it but it feels like an old friend. Yes, I am aware of how twisted that it.

I have no reason to be depressed, yet I am. There are people here with very specific reasons for their depression and it is not the news or advertising that promotes nearly unattainable beauty.

Watching the news and all that can make it worse in some people but I would be very surprised if it was ever the reason for chronic depression.
