What's the deal with depression /pol/?
It seems like this mental illness has grown rampant in Western civilization since the 1990s. What is causing this?
>>56561748
overpopulation
lack of purpose
everyone else has no morals
federal reserve
no sex
>>56561748
estrogen in the water supply
>>56562597
Any proofs?
Cheap entertainment
>>56561748
you should ask Allen Frances and David Healy
>>56561748
The collapse of traditionalism.
How can anyone be happy when your constantly guilty for being a white male.
>>56561748
i agree, it seems to be very relevant, especially this year, and not just in millennials in all age groups
>>56561748
/pol/ thinks depression is a fake illness, like autism.
Being a whiney cunt has grown rampant.
>>56562781
>/pol/ is one person
>>56562635
I kind of pulled that out of my ass but sure
estrogen in water supply:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_effects_of_water_pollution
>has been shown to cause feminizing effects in males.
>Estrogens accumulate in body fat and tissue, and because of the cycle of the food chain, the artificial estrogens/EDC’s bioaccumulate as they rise up the different levels of the food chain.
estrogen might cause depression:
http://www.webmd.com/women/guide/estrogen-and-womens-emotions
>It's clear that estrogen is closely linked with women's emotional well-being. Depression and anxiety affect women in their estrogen-producing years more often than men or postmenopausal women.
>>56561748
Lack of social/mental application. Sure is fun being on a computer...
Me personally, I try to teach myself things, so I can be better integrated with a world on a trivia basis.
Social isolation. Individualistic faggotry.
>>56562803
>says someone who has never experienced depression
>>56561748
atheism/agnosticism
"There's no wing like meaning."
>>56563149
is that why theres more man boobs
>>56563149
any way to fight it?
as I understand main gateway is botteled water
Post-materialism, lack of purpose, disenfranchisement. There's no great challenge to overcome, you're entitled to everything. With all your needs met, all that's left is to enter into a life of debauchery and degeneracy. Anyone who wants anything else will always feel like an outsider, and with overpopulation everyone becomes expendable. With no sense of duty to the great whole, people withdraw, and as we are social creatures we become depressed.
That or chemicals.
Or diagnosis being far too lenient.
>>56563161
how can I become better integrated too?

Everyone is now taught they are a special snowflake, for most people the reality that they are simply powerless cogs in a machine will hit eventually with devestating results.
>>56563253
I'm on citalopram and remeron
But I'm starting to believe that i could fix all of my own problems if i wasn't such a faggot.
>>56563803
probably because of the citalopram and rameron...
>>56563038
Indeed.
Think of fightclub.
/pol/ is 100% made up in your mind.
There ia but a single poster creating everyt thread a samefagging all day everyday.
This is the "redpill".
It was about time you realized.
>>56563803
has anyone tried getting into a fistfight to fix depression?
https://youtu.be/QKwMFas9XnY?t=7m31s
>>56563883
No it's because i know that they don't work, anti depressants are a shot in the dark at best.
I'm currently tapering my self off of both of them.
>>56561748
Better diagnosis methods
All niches have been filled
Too much competition and pressure
Not enough incentive
Mouse experiment.
>>56561748
A combination of lack of purpose in life, increased free time, and greatly improved recognition/diagnosis.
It's easier to tell a NEET is depressed than to tell if a miner who works 18 hours a day is depressed, or is completely justified in wanting to die to escape his hellish existence.
>>56564009
They've worked for me. Once I quit, I went back to my depression.
at least you aren't cutting off cold turkey, that'll make you worse.
Secularist ideals, technology replacing real human interaction, porn

Consumer Capitalism and Cultural Marxism.
>>56563149
So, all the Chads and Stacies taking birth control got us in this shit?
>>56561748
>What is causing this?
The internet
>>56561748
Coming into 4chan unironicaly is causing depression.
>>56564727
good thing I only come here ironically :^)
>>56561748
It was previously masked by all the alcoholism.
>>56563803
>But I'm starting to believe that i could fix all of my own problems if i wasn't such a faggot.
As someone who's gone through this, you're right. You can.
>I suffer in Canada
what the fuck, dude, you can move to Quebec and become a part of the french masterrace and get perfect french
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg23CkWGu2k
But after it you should move to Toronto/Vanquver again and still be french, just to assimilate anglos
>>56561748
Because, simply put, the world is worse now.
>>56562427
Federal Reserve?
>>56568228
Fuck Canada and fuck the French.
I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't give a shit about the recent terror attacks.
It's like everyone forgot what massive faggots the frogs are.
Manufacturing jobs have been outsourced. You're either a hip techie or you have no purpose
>>56568463
The face of usapoors rotten tolerance too. You're just like radical islamists, you're "tolerant" only if people are anglos or wanna become them.
>>56568545
Russia has no place calling Americans poor.
You faggots were the ones dumb enough to throw your the last of your life's savings and inheritance into building bombs you'll never use.
But I guess we both got cuked by the kikes in that war so I'll drink to that. ypa
>>56561748
Increased sexual competition leading to large swaths of the male population growing up as incels.
>>56568800
>Russia has no place calling Americans poor.
you should repeat it
maybe it will become truth
>>56568800
Russia has latin murrica-tier capitalism and our economy have a dark side too, so our real GDP are bigger than the official one
>>56568923
we all know russia has no where but up to climb
we fucked ourselves hiring a nigger to do a white man's job

lack of fulfilling employment, lack of family, divorce rates are insane and alimony laws are extremely skewed in favor of one gender.
the internet and technology has closed everyone off to each other, we'd rather text than talk on the phone, we'd rather post some fucking status on facebook than talk to your friends or family about it in real life
>>56569184
>you still call them poor
They will be if they keep importing "refugees".

>>56561748
I've been depressed and anxious since I was at most seven years old... but a lot of the people claiming these things these days are just doing so to look like special snowflakes.
It's fucking disgusting, using an illness that constantly tells you to kill yourself and one that makes you afraid of people as some sort of fucked up fashion statement.
They should be killed.
Fuck, they want depression?
They want anxiety?
I'd gladly give them mine if I could.
Millennial bastards.

Believing shit can give you some sort of meaning or purpose but this can be achieved without religion and religion tends to lead to other mental problems.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lORCuR84-_8
The true benefit of religion is community but this can be achieved elsewhere without the stupid beliefs.
>>56563404
No thats because you're fat. There isn't nearly enough estrogen in the water supply to give you man boobs so it's all about poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyle. This is not something that you can use to fatlogic your way out of exercise and eating healthy.

That's how I see it with my depression though, I have legitimate medical concerns that are all physical that cause me to be a loser and if I ever bring them up no one gives half a shit.
I have barely any friends and do not know how to make them because I hate this stupid nigger culture and refuse to follow along with it, I have no idea what I'm going to do in life and I feel like I've missed out already on a lot of big steps and no there is no going back.
Are SSRIs the ultimate blue pill?
cruel socioeconomic system ruling our lives plus terrible diets that is not healthy for the brain.

I got into one, got a broken nose and arrested. The adrenaline rush was sweet while it lasted, the aftermath not so much, got even more depressed afterwards.
>>56561748
Oppression will do that to a population of any species...

Alexei shut the fuck up.
>>56568104
Got any advice?
It's coming up on 21 years for me and I just want it to fucking end.
>>56564276
that was almost CCCP.
White males are only affected by this, due to them having no purpose in society and being blamed for everything
>>56562597
Estrogen comes from plastics all our food and water is in as well.
Lots of causes OP - broken homes, failed relationships, failed or no life plans, bleak future, no money... Many reasons, but the thing is these days people can still survive without having to struggle. Benefits checks, mum and dad, McJobs etc. If people have goals and things to strive for, and had to work hard to survive they wouldn't have time to wallow is self pity. Those that did would die.
Western society is too comfortable. We have lost our edge, and we now have time to contemplate our navels instead of hunt and gather.
1st world problems.
>>56561748
Lack of purpose (I don't know what to do with life, might as well end it)
Too much free time. Leads to too much wallowing in emotions instead of being productive
No sense of duty or family values (Can't commit suicide, my country might need me to fight in a war. Can't commit suicide, my family needs me to work in a family so we have food on the table)
Rollo May, great psychologist, attributed it to the subversion of any and all systems and institutions that provided moral/ethical instruction for people. He thought this created the "schizoid personality," using schizoid in a technical sense to mean detached, aloof, and unfeeling.
In a culture without a moral framework, a person will tend to be paralyzed by indecision and inaction, afraid to make a choice that will exclude other choices and thereby to limit one's opportunities for experience. In order to avoid the pain of rejection/loss, people avoid all feeling.
Contrary to what a lot of people might think, clinically moderate and severe depression feel a lot more like numbness and apathy than sadness. You prevent yourself from feeling anything so you don't feel your emotional pain.
If you want to relieve depression, **find some expression/outlet for your feelings** Talk to a friend, exercise, draw or write, cry--find a way to express it and you'll feel the burden ease as you devote less energy to suppressing your feelings. Overcome your depression and anxiety and live well, and continue carrying the rightist banner.
>>56561748
easy childhood with too much sheltering from parents and then sudden reality check at 18.
>>56562427
>everyone else has no morals
What counts as a decent moral to you?
Is hooking up and having sex a lack of a moral?
But you list that as a reason for wanting to kill yourself "no sex"...
