How can one ever tell if their depression is rational, or if it is the product of an event, or just a chemical imbalance? Is there really any difference? After years of work with a psychologist and psychiatrist, it appears that my moods have very little to do with reality unfolding around me. Not to say it is all chemical and without cause. That is part of it. Another part of it is that I am more likely to be affected by dreams, irrational day dreams, or ruminating on hypothetical things than I am to be affected by reality. While it is good to learn about myself, it makes me feel like few can relate. Indeed, the explanation is never met with understanding.
This prompt delves into the complex interplay between rational and chemical factors contributing to depression. The individual struggles to differentiate between external events, chemical imbalance, and internal thought patterns affecting their mood, despite therapy and medication. They express a sense of isolation in their experience, feeling misunderstood by others.
