Also, people who are fat or out of shape are also always depressed, because they look and feel like shit.
But yeah, expectations about what life is and should be are a big cause i thinks. OH no I'm a truck driver makin 22 bucks an hour what a failure i am!!!! No, not really. If the concept of the american dream didn't exist, I think people wouldn't be so depressed about their "miserable failure" of a life.

I think there are two types of depression. There is that which you bring on yourself (by making your own life miserable or hating your life and not being willing to change it etc) and there is an actual medical condition. If you have what you bring on yourself you can do something about it by changing your life, diet, job etc and come out of your funk. If it is medical, you need real help and maybe medication or it is just going to get worse and worse and even if you change your life the relief that might give you will only be temporary.
