Depression is refusal to accept reality. You can't change the world you can only change how you react to it. Fuck niggers jews and jannies

depression = gay and kiked

Rage = Based and Reichpilled

No. Depression is the realization that your rage is impotent and you are powerless.

Depends what triggers the depression. One's lack of success at attaining their goals (women, money, status, sobriety, career). A little success and the depression is gone. The death of a child, close family member or friend - a sense of profound shock and permanent loss, of being stuck in time, and there is not a damned thing that will bring them back - time, emotional support can help heal emotional wounds so the person can move on. Health - (Brain chemical imbalance, stroke, heart attack, terminal illness, male impotence...) - see a doctor.

Rage turned inward sounds like a reaction to futility, a sense of inadequacy and a perceived personal failure. Someone so disgusted with events impacting their lives that are found to be out of their control, leading to them becoming depressed/discouraged/hopeless. Someone who has worked their butt off to succeed but gets laid off anyway. Someone with skills but can't seem to find a job. A parent disrespected by their child no matter how the parent tries to remedy it.

Depression can come in many flavors.

Yes. It is inverted anger. It is the result of the powerlessness of anger expressed to accomplish change. This is a well-recorded phenomenon. A lot of demoralizing propaganda, whether true or not, works by making people pissed off about shit they cannot control.

Depression is caused by a number of things, namely low self-esteem and low sense of self-worth, shame and regret, or lack of self-control. Lack of self-control leads to people into not living up to their potential and therefore not having meaning in their lives. Lack of self-control is a huge culprit as a cause for depression. So many people are distracted all the time, yet desire to do great things with their lives, but because they have no self-control or discipline they dont work to achieve their goal. This causes a kind of dissonance in peoples minds between what they wish they were doing and what they’re actually doing. and they end up becoming depressed. That’s why I’ve always said the best cure for depression is doing something that you’re proud of. It will cure every cause of depression.

I don't know about rage, specifically, but I think it is a coping mechanism for an undesirable state of affairs. Your mind numbs itself and accepts that things suck to try and keep your body alive. You distance yourself from others, stop doing hobbies, drop out of school, etc., as your mind distances yourself from things until the actual problem is left behind.

Problem is, the "actual problem" for people in the west is the way we live. We're controlled by foreign (to the self) powers we likely won't ever meet or influence. We live increasingly in dehumanized pods (i.e., isolated homes and apartments where we don't grow a close society of people.) The mind knows this and recoils.

So, drugs may dampen the dampening feeling you get from depression but it doesn't solve the fact that we're increasingly isolated, fat, shamed, stuck working indoors away from the sun, have little freedom, and know that generations to follow us will be in the same hell.

As a Nurse and with the depression patients that I work with it is more of a despondent emotion setting. As if they are crushed under life and overwhelmed by their issues/situation and the seeming endless dullness that they experience. I know Big Pharma is BS about many things but seeing the difference in someone that responds well to a medication can make a huge difference. Venlafaxine helps many of those on my medpass, and if they run out within a week they are teetering emotionally and want to stay in bed and give up. They get back on it and boom, they are cheery and sweet again.

I think it's just when you've failed to make progress towards your goals.

it depends on whether or not it is clinical or situational. there are some people who no matter what goes on in their life, they will always be depressed. diet, lack of exercise, chemical imbalance, etc... big pharma, loves to capitalize on such factors and make the problem worse, whereas, sometimes all a person needs is to reexamine his or her life choices and make the necessary changes.

within the past twenty or so years, it has been fashionable to be depressed and blame everyone and everything else for our poor choices, but sometimes things are just out of our control.

drugs and alchohol just make it worse in the long run, but it has been pushed as an acceptable crutch.

basically we all need to dry our eyes and push through. the only way to deal with a stagnet pond is to throw a rock in it.

i have heard it said that depression is natures way of telling you to change something in your life. i might agree with that statement.
