Can depression be willed on oneself? Or is it purely genetic, circumstantial, and social?

I was under the impression it was socially developed. Unless you have an issue regulating serotonin properly
>>7927874
Get a CBT book and apply the techniques everyday.
>>7927874
It's circumstantial.
Those who frog post are at an extreme risk of depress
If you say "I hate myself" enough, one day you will actually hate yourself!

I forgive you.
Its not like I can expect everyone to understand tone and implications.
>>7930040
yeah it's not like metabolic duress, hormonal imbalance, vasporession, cns poisoining, genetic defects, ion channel blockers, promoter epigenetics, drug-induced psychosis, sarcoid tumors, receptor-site attenuative ligands....... are a thing...............................................

I might be mistaken, but don't all of these affect serotonin levels?
>>7930110
did you just google causes for depression and not read into what each one does chemically?
tumors do not directly make you depressed. they can induce a drop in hormones/neurotransmitters (ie serotonin), and that is what makes you "depressed"
>>7927874
Absolutely. Sit on your couch all day doing nothing but browsing the internet and you too can become depressed.
>>7927874
Just become smarter. Intelligence is correlated with depression.

Except that usually the intelligent people are the depressed ones.
