Is depression partially caused by low self esteem? I've had low self esteem for MANY years, been working on it, but it doesn't improve. That makes me wonder if there's any hope of never being depressed if I continue to feel so badly about myself.
Or does depression contribute to low self esteem? Does the fact that I have this disease make me feel badly about myself? Do you ever wonder about this? |

Very interesting question! I find myself at times wondering if I did not have depression I would be full of smiles and my life would be happy. However, if you do not know happiness, you will still be depressed. If you do not know confidence, you will still have low self esteem. Removal of either the depression or the low self esteem doesn't guarantee the existence of the opposite. Very, very interesting question!!!
