Why do people seem to wallow in sadness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m going to make an educated guess and say your at least familiar with depression if you haven\u2019t experienced it yourself, and you may or may not be aware of how miserable it is. So.. why would they stay like that if its so miserable!!! I hear you asking audience, and I am here to answer!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not going to say off PERSONAL experience for plausible deniability (this is a joke I may or may not remove we\u2019ll see), but I will say I\u2019ve been close and personal with it. Based off friends, family, partners, I\u2019d say I have a pretty good grasp on what the experience is like, at least from an outside perspective, as well as an unreasonable amount of research poured into it. What can I say, I love researching about mental and neurological disorders!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From what I can deduce, a lot of it seems to be rooted in conformation bias, misconceptions about getting better, chemical imbalances, environmental factors, and situational factors. A lot I know, but stay with me pls I\u2019ll explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conformation bias and misconceptions about getting better go hand in hand, at least in this case. Something you\u2019ve more than likely heard about healing (at least with conditions that can<\/em> experience remission in symptoms) is \u201cprogress isn\u2019t linear\u201d and I will say that is true!!! But it never seems to do what its meant to. The idea<\/em> of healing seems like a big (and potentially unattainable) goal, so why would someone even try if they won\u2019t be there in foreseeable future? A big thing with depression is hopelessness, helplessness, and a lack faith in self, so if someone even tries to get better and falls back, it confirms what they more than likely already believe, that they can\u2019t get better. (confirming their bias against themselves)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chemical imbalances is something most people are aware of. A big cause is the shaping of the brain, which is kinda hard to fix!!! A big root for it is neurological disorders effecting the shape of the brain. Traumatic brain injuries, strokes, Parkinson\u2019s disorder, Huntington\u2019s disease, epilepsy, Alzheimer\u2019s, and many, more change the shape of the brain entirely, completely altering how serotonin and dopamine receptors do their job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Environmental and situational factors go hand in hand, which is just essentially saying I can\u2019t really answer my original question for every situation (I\u2019m so good at this I know thank you), because there\u2019s a million different person to person cases of depression!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anndd that\u2019s all for this week!!! I should probably add if your struggling with depression or just ANY mental disorders plspls reach out to like ANYONE. It helps sm sm take it from me (take that as you will). I\u2019m not even gonna try to predict what I\u2019ll write next week, I\u2019ve been wrong like 3 weeks in a row.
