I just wrote this in the Heath ledgers dead post thats run into a depression suicide question but thought it's probably better off here where some of you study this stuff.

What do you think ,is this line of thought, taught in physcology at all?

On depression


just about to step in to the realm of unpopularity with some on this comment.

Because we belive we are what we think, instead of beliving or being brought up to belive that we are more than our thoughts; our emotions run off of our thought process instead of the reverse way around so you would have complete control over your brain and what it thinks.You use it as a tool instead of it using you as one.

At first,originally; you choose what you get to a large degree including the choice to allow yourself to become depressed.
I dont think many choose consiously to continue it on though, but its too late to return to normal,
because i belive the brain gets addicted to the cemicals its makes and the nuro links its forms very fast and sometimes falling into depression is naturally easier than the other options once your at that point and the links are already formed around the emotion.
Worse its a secret until it becomes natural and then its still disguised behind normal actions.
I also belive its on the increase because people are being robbed of natural joy through unnatural processess around us,many electrical, bombarding us externally so that we get caught up in it all and we learn it all fast, then we search for everything including happiness,joy,love outside of ourselves firstly, instead of it being the last step and only used for added enjoyment.
We live for the external love of others or something else of choice and when its taken away which it always is eventually ,you only have yourself left standing in what i think is a divine space,others think of it as a hole and fall right in. Im yet to experience the absolute worse of it all personally, but Im in no fairy land type dream that its never going to happen.
