The great Stanford University professor Robert Saplosky likes to describe depression as this:

It’s a biochemical disorder with a genetic component…where somebody can’t appreciate sunsets.

Depression isn’t caused by weakness. It’s the inability to feel happiness, joy, and a whole lot of other symptoms.

It has a gentic component meaning some people are literally born more susceptible.

It’s typically triggered by trauma and repeat trauma can make it chronic.

It manifests as one of several neurochemical imbalances with chemicals like serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, and substance p.

a good chunk of the thread is call-outs aimed at individual posters, by name.

“Okay, thanks.”

those posts are being made by people who claim they want this thread to stay.

posting stuff like that, is not going to help the thread remain open.

hopefully those people will see this post, and go back and edit their posts accordingly.
