There isn't always a why. That's the problem. Depression though - no matter the form (even the "treatment resistant" .. I had that for 30yrs at one time) - is able to be recovered from. The key is in mindset .. your stance on if you are truly going to allow yourself to give in or not. If not - keep trying things until something works. If nothing works, just find something to either distract you or relax you a bit during the hard times - and wait it out. Eventually, it will pass. Walk as much as you can. Just that alone will help you exponentially.
