Maybe that's why it's called situational depression and not severe recurrent major depressive disorder.

Be quiet, goy! The therapeutic industry relies on poorly thought out labels.

Its how normalfags self diagnose "depression"

They realized they needed to coin a term for people who are to much of a cuck to stop going to Sunday mass

Depression is any sort of disabling sadness, quit gatekeeping

If someone isn't a state of almost constant despondency then they aren't really depressed I think. Feeling sad after some misfortune befalls you is completely normal and not an illness.

being sad just means you're unhappy, but depression has a number of other symptoms.

Yeah im disabled for a bit when I drop my food. I am legitimately sad at that point in time, in that situation. Hell, I might not want to do anything afterwards. I'm not depressed.

>Being sad
You experience deep emotional damage and you (may but not always will) grieve to purposely relieve yourself of the emotional pain.
>Being depressed
It really is a chemical imbalance that makes you look sad but more on nihilistic, borderline self destructive(?), unending confusing thoughts about life in general and distaste in humanity.

>mfw "being unwanted by the opposite sex" isnt on that list
Because they know that is not situational but a lifelong thing

People say this but girls love older men. I'm tall fit and 22 and women rejected me last week for a 60 year old man who literally wears diapers.

>muh chemical reaction
When will people stop sweeping the real cause under the rug and admit that depression is just a person coming to the profound realisation that life is fucked up mess that most people would be better off just opting out of? If the world were beautiful, people wouldn't get depressed. Medical science is just confusing cause with effect.

Some old ass stoner I met in Nepal

I think depression is more guilt and shame then sadness. I go through stages where im happy and stages where I want to kill myself. Pretty much every human on this plant will tell you the world is a fucked up place, but you're wrong they don't all want to kill themself there's more to it then that

Because it legitimately is a chemical imbalance you retard. We're all just automatons.

exactly fucking hell this thread

If the world were beautiful, people wouldn't be physically handicapped either. They would just instantly be cured. Medical science is confusing cause and effect.

The only annoyance is that a beautiful world is one where you have a bullet in your head.

if the world were beautiful, people would still be sad. beauty cannot exist by itself, it comes from contrast. all that would happen is that the least beautiful would become the new ugly.

My life sucks because I am poor, ugly, born in a shithole country too. On top of this I am single too. So I feel like shit until I get laid and get more money too.
Must be a new type of mental illness not a shitty life.
Maaaan these shrinks all deserve the rope.

It exists because of retards looking for a diagnosis. It literally just means being sad, but now you can blogpost on social media about your depression confirmed by a professional.

It happens to women a lot after getting birth. Those examples they give are shit though. You should feel sad after any of those things.

The way psychiatry treats "depression" basically functions along the lines of "drug everyone doesn't feel happy" though. It's quite odd how they basically admit "We can't change these things that are making you sad, so we're just going to drug you." Even if you have every reason to be sad they'll still want to drug you. They basically force people to treat drugs as a coping mechanism because the Jews don't want to change any of the things that have made suicide rates skyrocket. But then those same 'mental health professionals' will turn around and start treating drug addiction as a mental illness. The psychiatric system is rotten to the core. Just ask anyone who's ever spent time in a mental hospital.

It's almost like the trappy porn thing. You are desperate to fuck so you get a hole and forget it's a dude because it's femme enough to be a girl for that half an hour, situationally gay but otherwise not really, now you are a snowflake with some new sexual paraphilia, but you are just a desperate horny hetero dude still and no1curr, really fucking nobody.

That thing is caused by the lactation process. They get sky high prolactine and it makes them nuts in some cases, they have to take meds for it.

No it doesn't you fucking psued because that is called post-partum depression and is its own independent class biologically built in.

There's a point at which "ah fuck, I have nothing to eat now" turns into "I didn't deserve it anyway" and "guess I should've killed myself earlier to not suffer through this shit".

OP's pic implies that you are constantly down due to plenty of reasons, not just being shy and having one day ruined by not having ice-cream.

I think situational depression would be something determined by the environment or climate, or some sort of recent event.
I'll try describing a situation, and you can tell me whether or not this would be valid.
>be a human being
>be abused in a household for significant portion of childhood
>leave for 10 years to adjust to the real world
>become productive human being with high self-esteem and clear aspirations/passion
here's the kicker
>get into situation where I have to stay at childhood house for a week
>family reunion or some shit
>reminded of past sense of helplessness, confusion and complete lack of aspiration
>OG childhood neurons kick in and go full darkness mode
>eventually leave but the feelings of fear and melancholy follow around for another two weeks

OP's pic related lists a couple of bad examples, but I think situational depression can be a real thing.

That isn't situational depression, that is being sad. Situational depression is more, "My house burned down and insurance won't pay, my wife cheated on me, my dog died in the fire, I was fired from my job, and I have cancer. I see no way out and there is no reason to keep living." Situational depression is when someone is in a situation so egregious that being alive is intolerable and they can not see escape.
