My therapist told me that I'm depressed because my life sucks, and not because of a chemical imbalance.

I wish I could say he's wrong - but he's not.

I mean, I have several disabilities:
- Spina Bifida (so I use a wheelchair)
- co-occuring Hydrocephalus (so I have a shunt)
on top of learning disabilities and memory problems.

I guess I'm very glad this forum exists now. I find it hard to deal with life - and people's perceptions of me and my disabilit(ies) on top of all the mental handicaps and illnesses to boot!

I guess I'm asking: Am I really the only one, who is depressed because of their disability/disabilities?
