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
Those chemicals in the brain (like dopamine and serotonin) are caused by feelings/emotions and IRL situations. Confidence, anxiety, loving and trusting yourself all influence those chemicals. When you exercise your brain releases a chemical called dopamine and endorphins . They’re basically what makes u happy
