Depression is in no way fault of your own. Its about what we've been through to have that feeling.
It isn't anyone's fault for being depressed. Your emotions seem to have a mind of their own and when a person is depressed.. they aren't asking to be that way.
Yes and No. There are many factors that will make a person depressed. It maybe a an effect of a choice you made or an effect of other people's choices.
If you think that depression is your fault (or someone else's fault), be aware that blaming yourself or others for your depression only makes you more depressed and prevents you from becoming depression-free.
No. The onset of depression is not controllable, it's what we do once we realize we have it that we can control.
It's none of the persons fault,we sometimes feel bad on some days and even good on days,it's the point that nothing lasts forever and it's normal

It's never your fault for being depressed. Being a transgendered male (Female To Male), depression is a normal thing in my life. I finally learned that the way I felt wasn't my fault, and sought help. Realizing it wasn't my fault helped me more than anything and I think it could help you, too.
No. It is never your fault. Depression is a bully and you are the victim. You shouldn't feel bad for yourself for being depressed. Use the energy you have to work towards feeling better about yourself (taking time for yourself, going to therapy, etc)
No.:) Please DO NOT feel guilty for being depressed; you couldn't help it. But you can always start to seek help and help yourself as much as you can from now on. I know it's never easy to get out of depression. Have you checked out the 7cups depression online course? That might help. Maybe talk to a therapist?
No it not your fault for being depressed, deprersstion is a feeling none of it is your fault
Nobody chooses to be depressed: this disease can strike anyone for no apparent reason at any time.
Being depressed isn't a choice or lifestyle. No one is ever at fault for it, it's a chemical imbalance and an illness. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
Absolutely not! There is no actual understanding of what causes depression but there are numerous theories; most of which have to do with either biological factors or outside events occurring in your life. It is never your fault for feeling depressed but it is your responsibility to try to figure out how to fight and overcome it whether through medication, therapy, diet, exercise, etc.
It is not your fault, our feelings are something we can’t control, it is a totally natural feeling to be upset at times. It is in no way your fault

No, beeing depressed is not your fault. And also there is often not even a "reason" for beeing depressed.It is a mental disorder.
No. It will never ever be your fault for being depressed. Depression come from a chemical imbalance in our brains, and there is no way that you could be responsible for something like that. There is also no way to prevent or cure depression sadly, but with the right resources, and medicines, it can be managed.
I don't think blaming anyone or anything is right. I think understanding that an event happened that you perceive in a certain way is what is making you depressed. You should never blame yourself or anyone else. Just know that it's something you need to overcome because it is life draining! And talking about your depression to get rid of it is one of the best and recommended ways!
Not at all! Depression is an illness, not a choice. It's a horrible illness that can affect anybody, no matter what their circumstances. You aren't alone and help,is out there to make you feel better. The first step is not to blame yourself.
It is never someones fault for being depressed, But remember you should always tell someone if you feel suicidal
Absolutly not. That's not your fault at all. You don't have to think things like these, 'cause these things bring you down. That's not your fault at all.
No, of course it is not your fault you are depressed. Nor is it anyone else's for that matter. Depression is usually caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain and can't be controlled on your own. It requires medicine to try and give you the chemicals you may be missing.

No. Can you do things to try and climb out? Of course but don't think that it is solely your fault. If you are truly depressed and not sad then you may not be able to pull yourself up and out. It can get into a vicious cycle. Never be afraid to ask for help.

I understand you, being depressed leads us to believe that we are guilty for everything that happens to us. Depression is a disease. You are strong, you’re here seeking for help. That’s very brave from you. If you were guilty of it, you wouldn’t be here. I don’t think that you want to be depressed. I’ve felt that too. I think you want to feel good that’s why you’re here too. It’s never our fault, being sad it’s not your fault. That’s only an emotion. If you listened this question from a friend, would you think that being depressed it‘s her/his fault?

It is never your own fault for having depression. Depression is a mental disorder that can impact you whether your life is going well or not.
No. What we experience defines us, but we have no control over that. Whatever you have gone through - even if it seems to be nothing - changes our perceptions. Depression can be caused by many things, but hardly ever ourselves.
It is never your fault for being depressed, and it is no one to blame because depression all starts off as a chemical imbalance and sometimes there's something that triggers it and causes a lack of the flow of chemicals or sometimes it's just an accident.

Not at all. However, you do have control on how you manage and deal with your depression. It is normal to blame yourself and feel guilty, but keep in mind this is the depression talking.
No! Depression is caused by trauma or a chemical imbalance in the brain. Don't feel bad about already being in a difficult situation!
Depending on the circumstance, but i would say no. Every one should work and do things with positive mind set and intent.
Talk to an expert therapist
