I often hear about external things causing depression, but I always thought that depression was caused by exclusively internal things and separate from anything that’s actually happening in your life.
On a separate note, how can things like exercise and therapy help with it?
In: Biology
There’s what I refer to as clinical depression, induced by issues within your body, and psychological depression which is induced by external factors. These are really two distinct conditions with different diagnoses. What a lot of people refer to as depression is really the externally induced psychological depression, not the biologically based depression that typically requires medication or other such medical intervention to treat.
