Why do I feel depressed even when my life is going great?

Depression is more than a feeling. It is a chemical imbalance which is non-discriminatory against a 'good' or 'bad' life, which are simply labels given to things/feelings/events, according to our beliefs and social norms.

Depression isn't always dependent on how life is going for you, at least from my experience. Depression can plague you at any time and for any reason, sometimes without a reason. Hope you feel better! :)

I had experienced this once. Well sometimes you really nees to clear up your mind. Don't about others' thoughts. Do what you like and you want. No one can stop you. And by the way, keep smiling and say to yourself, " i am doing great today and no one can stop me. Today is a perfect day for me to shine! "

Depression can effect you even when the circumstances don't match up. There are parts of depression. While the situational part isn't there, the genetic component might be. See a doctor and get treated for your depression.

Depression can hit at any time. Anywhere. Anyone. Even people with awesome lives get depressed. You're not weak or over exaggerating because you get depressed.

"Going great" is very subjective. Society has typical measures of success, be it grades, finances, and strength or amount of relationships a person has. Some people, however, do not conform to the notion that achieving success in these areas bring happiness; they may seek happiness in other areas of their lives such as finding meaning or purpose in life. When people are unable to find happiness by succeeding in that area, they may feel depressed, unable to achieve the goals they most cherish.

Depression is a mental illness. It's when certain chemicals in your brain aren't balanced, so you could have the best life in the world, but still feel depressed.

may be you're not doing what you love, or may be you dont have inner peace and fulfilment. absence of these things will question you abt your existence.

Identify the stress,where you feel depress.self evaluation is important.we are human so sometimes we feel depressed with out any reasons but actually there must be some hidden feeling which makes us to feel like this.do practice healthy workouts ,maintain diet ,engage with friends and family.take time for your self.do what you feel happy.

A lot of the time people cannot help but compare themselves to others; the other has a better career than me, they are more popular than I am.. and so on. It is only natural as we are humans after all. Try to list your blessings and work on what you wish to improve.
