    Why does everyone "suffer from depression" these days?

    Seems there is no shortage of people with issues these days. I just wonder what there is to be so depressed about. Is this a new wave of chemically imbalanced humans, or as a society are we becoming so lazy and/or bored we just create psychological issues?

    Curious minds want proof, link and examples.

      I think that one of the sources as a lot of people have too much idle time and too many options. Too much idle time makes you bored and you start thinking about things you shouldn't be thinking of. Too many options creates "analysis paralysis" and people freak out with all of the stuff they "have to do." These are pretty much on opposite ends of the spectrum from each other. People need to find balance.

          That is a very interesting point. I can certainly see how that could happen!

                  Everyone takes life to seriously. to many many people are caught up in media hype and what life should be.

                  people are spoon fed and have no need to be responsible for their own actions. alot of people look to gain exterior things to make them happy rather than look gain "interior" things that make them happy.

                  no one is honest about who they are or what they really want. this in turn makes them feel like they have to lie to themselves to get through life.

                  to many people are afraid to deal with their own emotions.

                  the list goes on...

                                  Real depression and the "modern" depression are two totally different things.

                                          lack of good diet, sleep and exercise
                                          focusing your life on things that are unimportant
                                          not having a job you love
                                          unrealistic expectations

                                              Everyone as in all americans (not just everyone here).... I would say it is because the majority of the people don't have the ability to spend money like they are use to. We are a spending society. Most spend more than they make (credit). With people being laid off of work, they have no income coming in so they can't spend. A lot of people had their cc limits reduced, they are maxed out. A lot of people lost the equity in their home, so they can't borrow against it.... very little money to spend. When people can't go blow money on crap like vacations, nice t.v's, fancy cars, etc... they typically get depressed.

                                                  drug companies and doctors in cahoots - there is no doubt real clinical depression, where people for absolutely no real reason are completely unable to function, exists. definitely a medical disorder still not fully understood. but the vast majority of depression that gets diagnosed today - just lazy doctors eager to diagnose a complaining patient with something and of course the drug companies are the benificiary when the lazy doctor writes out a script for the popular anti-depressant of the month.

                                                  why are more people complaining and thinking they are depressed - high unrealistic expectations that they can't meet - creates anxiety and depression. we are a sick culture and getting sicker and weaker mentally all the time.

                                                  none of these popular mental illnesses that we have today, clinical depression, anxiety disorder, ADD - there are no laboratory tests for them. Psychiatrists create and name these illnesses, according to a group of symptoms they decide on make up the illness.

                                                  They all exist but are waaaaaaaaaaaaay over diagnosed - most people who get diagnosed with them are just not well adjusted people for whatever reason, they have no real brain chemisty problem.

                                                      I was thinking why everyone suffers from ADD, too.

                                                      And have you guys noticed how many times a commercial from a drug company comes up on TV now?

Media, internet and all the bullshit are causin problems in peeps lives.. back in the days, information was limited, so people's eyes werent too opened to all the crap.. this made their life simpler and much barerable compared to this day in age.

Is this a new wave of chemically imbalanced humans, or as a society are we becoming so lazy and/or bored we just create psychological issues?

They are called Doctors and Pharmaceutical companies. They want you fucked up and on their drugs, even if it is their drugs that are fucking you up so they can give you different drugs.

                                                                                              All those fucked up drug commercials you see on TV? They aren't there to help you, they are there to get you hooked and making them money.

                                                                                              There ARE real conditions that require treatment, BUT the amount of so called effected individuals are grossly misdiagnosed/self diagnosed or like I said... pussies. Oh noes... I'm having a panic attack... Oh noes... my life sucks, I'm depressed. Here's an idea... MAN UP and get your shit together. Quit medicating the symptoms of your problem, CURE the problem with self management and coping skills or techniques. You're not helpless so stop acting like it and stop rationalizing your behavior by hiding behind a disease, mental or otherwise.

                                                                                              You think people were acting this pathetic 50 years ago? Where did all the real men go? Do they even make them anymore? People have seriously lost touch with reality.

                                                                                              Last edited by Darkland; 02-16-2010, 04:19 PM.

                                                                                                                          throw in constant fear tactics by the government to keep people scared and you have zombies, depressed zombies at that

                                                                                                                                  1. real depression which is a medical condition where people have a chemical imbalance.
                                                                                                                                  2. being in a funk and being depressed, sometimes long term, about it.

                                                                                                                                  I think those that are in category #1 have always been around, but it wasn't until recent years that we knew how to diagnose them and until recently it was kind of taboo to talk about that kind of stuff.

                                                                                                                                  Those that are in category #2 I think are easy prey for pharmaceutical companies. They are depressed about their life and are sitting around one night and see an ad for a medicine so they go it. It doesn't help the problem, it just puts them in a zombie like state so they care less about it.

                                                                                                                                          I feel some people.. (not the majority by any means).. are looking for a label so that they have an excuse for some of their actions or lack of actions. Once these label-seekers have what they want in the form of a 'diagnosis' they often use it to their advantage anytime things aren't going their way.

Perhaps all the shit that's in food these days causes depression? Because of my depression that follows eating poorly, I pretty much only eat healthy. Also, people get depressed during the winter (unless you live in a place where there's only 1 season, aka, southern californa and its warn weather 24/7).

                                                                                                                                              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 just wonder what there is to be so depressed about. Is this a new wave of chemically imbalanced humans, or as a society are we becoming so lazy and/or bored we just create psychological issues?

                                                                                                                                                                  I agree. My mom has depression pretty badly. She is about to turn 70 and she only really started getting good treatment for it about 6-7 years ago. When she was diagnosed the doctor told her she had probably been suffering it her entire life, but she didn't know it. She had some pretty horrible things happen to her when she was a child and only recently has come to realize that they aren't her fault. That has helped her a lot, but she still has a lot of bad days. She is on medicine now and after finding the right one she is doing a lot better.

                                                                                                                                                                  She is one of the strongest people I have ever known. My parents divorced when I was 5 and she raised my brother and myself on her own by working two jobs and busting her ass. It was pretty intense when she told me recently that for most of my life she had thought seriously about killing herself, but didn't because she didn't want to leave me and my brother alone.

                                                                                                                                                                  She had told me time and again that she is so thankful that she didn't pass the depression on to me.

Perhaps all the shit that's in food these days causes depression? Because of my depression that follows eating poorly, I pretty much only eat healthy. Also, people get depressed during the winter (unless you live in a place where there's only 1 season, aka, southern californa and its warn weather 24/7).

                                                                                                                                                                      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.

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.

My mom has depression pretty badly. She is about to turn 70 and she only really started getting good treatment for it about 6-7 years ago. When she was diagnosed the doctor told her she had probably been suffering it her entire life, but she didn't know it. She had some pretty horrible things happen to her when she was a child and only recently has come to realize that they aren't her fault. That has helped her a lot, but she still has a lot of bad days. She is on medicine now and after finding the right one she is doing a lot better.

                                                                                                                                                                                  She is one of the strongest people I have ever known. My parents divorced when I was 5 and she raised my brother and myself on her own by working two jobs and busting her ass. It was pretty intense when she told me recently that for most of my life she had thought seriously about killing herself, but didn't because she didn't want to leave me and my brother alone.

                                                                                                                                                                                  She had told me time and again that she is so thankful that she didn't pass the depression on to me.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Since I have had treatment, I have gone back over my life and recognized that my mother has had depression issues all her life too. Luckily, as I was noticing it so were her doctors and she has also had treatment. There is a genetic element to it so do watch yourself.

                                                                                                                                                                                  I am hardly the worst case and once I actually dealt with it properly I can now usually control it naturally and just look out for triggers. I never reached the suicidal level and don't think that I could but I did get very paralysed by fear and anxiety which more or less kept me from living for a year. I am by no means over it and have to fight anxiety a lot but, like I said, I try to avoid triggers and then I am okay.

                                                                                                                                                                                  It took me SO long to go get help because I was afraid of the stigma and the 'depression isn't real....man up!' talk. Then, I finally couldn't take the inside of my own brain any longer (I did hide it well from other people though) and went to see my doctor. Her first response was, 'Sarah, I suffer from depression too' and she talked me through how you can be a 'normal' person and have such issues. In other words, killed the stigma for me.

                                                                                                                                                                                  The fact is that 1 out of 4 people have some sort of mental health issue. Obviously, these are in varying degrees. It is just that people don't walk about it. Perhaps now we are just talking about it more.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Do I think some people hype up their issues? Sure. Do I think that some people throw around terms like 'I am depressed' and don't actually understand what a real depression is until it hits them? Certainly. Do I think drug companies are too eager to have people popping pills for every shaky moment in life? Totally but there are times when people really need drugs to help and then the stigma often stops them using them.
