Some people just naturally get a chemical imbalance in their heads
But
So far, we have scientific evidence for nine different causes of depression and anxiety
Two of them are indeed in our biology
Your genes can make you more sensitive to these problems though they don’t write your destiny
And there are real brAIn changes that can happen when you become depressed that can make it harder to get out
But most of the factors that have been proven to cause depression and anxiety are not in our biology
They are factors in the way we live
There is not only way to rely on the chemical antidepressants
We got natural physical needs
And we has natural psychological needs too
You need to feel you belong, you need to feel your life has meaning and purpose, you need to feel that people see you and value you, you need to feel you have got a future that makes sense
You are not weak, not crazy, not in the main, a machine with broken parts
You are human being with unmet needs
We are the loneliest society in human history
No longer close to anyone
We use to banding together into groups and cooperating
For many people, they didn’t solve the problem, they underlying problem
If you think life is about money, status and showing off, you are going to feel like crap
The more you believe you can buy and display you way out of sadness, and into a good life, the more likely you are to become depressed and anxious
As a society, we have become much more driven by these beliefs
We have been trained to look for happiness in all the wrong places
Junk values don’t meet your psychological needs, and they take you away from a good life
We live in a machine that is designed to get us to neglect what is important about life
Think about the moment in our life we had actually found meaning and purpose
Think about how could you dedicate more of your life to pursuing these moments of meaning and purpose
