Pretty accurate. As someone who goes from living similar to that to having good weeks of heavy socializing and excersise...its pretty obvious when and why I feel way better

ive done these things both depressed and not depressed

It's dumb to think that these basic things either are responsible for or contribute to maintaining depression, at least fully. It's obviously a mental condition and people who have lots of great things in life are depressed and if parts of life are contributing to it, it's usually large personal issues, not just eating poorly. Sure it can contribute, but this is just an oversimplification.

Well that's kind of the point of its inclusion. It amplifies your current depression.

For some people it helps. For me if I have anxiety it just magnifies it. And that's just when I smoke too much. Each person has their unique experience when it comes to weed

Isn't this kind of offensive since depression isn't something that's caused by things in your life, but something that just happens for no reason? Chemical imbalances or whatever?

i'm depressed because my brain is fucked from a chemical imbalance. in my case it HAS to be genetic. my little brother is depressed. my mom is depressed. both of my aunts are depressed. my grandma is depressed. it comes from my grandma's family. she had a sister and multiple cousins commit suicide.

i kind of find shit like this offensive tbh. like not i'm going to report you offensive. fuck that. but like it downplays depression as a real thing and makes it seem like a a result of lifestyle choices. when for me it is not.

I'm bipolar and can confirm. For seemingly no reason at all I'll go from being really happy to the next day wanting to end my life (I won't actually do it of course)

Its both. That's why people get stuck. But the worst people are the depressed ones that want to take no responsibility for it at all. Just suck down everything around them and claim victim

Seems pretty accurate. Many of those are fine for mentally healthy people, but odds are if you're a guy under 30 who's depressed, you partake in a majority of them.

No that isn't really true. Or at least it's no longer the primary train of thought within psychology.

Depression is most often brought on by environment and circumstances, not just some random chemical imbalance out of nowhere. Some people are just genetically more susceptible to it.

Well, mainly depression is just so fucking heterogeneous due to the DSM's overall shittiness, it's unclear what the mechanisms underlying depression are, despite there being many fruitful avenues of research.

What we do know is that there is definitely a biological component, but it's hard to tell exactly what that is and what the causality might be.

From the outside people would see me as a success (not boasting) but I struggle with depression and have been on this site forever...

Depression is a sickness that is influenced by external factors. The image in the OP is a pretty accurate description of the cycle that a lot of people deal with but I think it effects people differently. My depression made me want to stay depressed and in that cycle and not get help. It took me forever to realize it and now I know it does the same for other people.

I think weed is too easy a crutch for when you're sad and want to numb yourself, though. It's treating the symptoms and ignoring the cause, or at least has been in my personal experience.

The starterpack is accurate, but it's also fair to say that all of these things are also symptoms of depression. You can't easily beat depression, but still - just doing these things and not changing them is 100% effective way to ensure you never beat depression.

As a counter point, I think most of you would see the sense in this:

And if the above makes sense to you, it should also make sense why doing nothing good for yourself will undoubtedly mean your life will always suck.

I do think there's some merit in trying to put your energy into more wholesome and productive activities though.

I don't think you can necessarily cure depression, but you're certainly not doing any favours for yourself if you're spending all your time and energy doing nothing productive or wholesome or good for you. Just my two cents.

I'm sure it's true for many with depression. I didn't really do any of that stuff (except eat junk food and stay up late lol) and my depression only went away after therapy + zoloft.

The Prozac being on there is a bit too edgy (and simply incorrect).

Lack of sleep is actually a big one in psychiatric practice. Most people underestimate the effects it has. Marijuana is one of those +/- things. It's correlated, but can't really conclude exactly its role in the whole thing.

Diet and obesity is only indirectly related, although the chronic inflammatory state may contribute pathophysiologically in some manner.

The only reason constant internet browsing and video gaming is included is because it seems the graphic implies that's *all* someone does, which would be valid. Those activities in and of themselves aren't contributory, but it's all a balance/moderation. If you game 12 hours a day, your life isn't balanced.

Exercise is an obvious one.

It's not a terrible graphic, but it's clearly made by a layperson and will clearly get interpreted as a value judgement here, whereas most people will probably react defensively here because they think their playing video games and jerking off a lot that is saying it's a guaranteed path to depression (not quite, but there's a kernel of truth there).
