How did I get depression?

A question to ask yourself, don't you think? Look at the past, and remember that the future will be different.

We can get depression from various sources from life circumstances, trauma and abuse to genetics and medical reasons.

IT may be simply that there was a miswiring of your brain, and you were born with it. It could also be caused by diet, sleep, or stress.

Depression doesn't always happen for a reason, for many people (me personally) it seemingly comes out of no where and that doesn't make it any less valid that if it was happening for a reason. I've found there are many factors that can exacerbate it though such as not sleeping well, not eating healthy and being lonely.

I really can't ethically answer this because it's different for every person and to give a broad answer for something like this wouldn't be correct or accurate

Our mind is a belief system. Initially , when everything is good, we remain relaxed. But suddenly when a day comes when our beliefs are tested against real world situations and we fail , it's a very big set back to the whole belief system. Might be because of that, our mind enters into a state of less external activity and high internal activity which we call as depression. And we remain in there as long as our beliefs remain the same. The moment we change our beliefs, we come out of it. But it's just my own perspective.

i believe depression is an outcome of negative feelings. Life is full of twists and turns. And there is no particular reason that could trigger this feeling!

Well i was young and nothing ever semmed to go my way and i started losing everyone i loved untill i lost my best friend and i broke down

Depression can hook on to many situations, such as eating disorders, divorce, the lost of a love one etc.

You don't get depression it just naturally happens or if you have gotten bullied it's a whole other senario.
