Are There People Who Are “programmed” to Be Depressed?

Question by Shea Vargas: Are there people who are “programmed” to be depressed?
I’ve had depression for four years and nothing has helped it. Therapy, medication, talking, nothing helps and it’s getting worse. I’m getting addicted to drugs I’ve only tried once and it’s hard for me to get off them. What’s wrong with me…?

Best answer:

Answer by DelilahDisaster
Depression is a chemical imbalance in your brain, that you are usually born with, so yes, it’s kind of like being “programmed” to be depressed. However medication should help. Just keep trying different ones until you find one (or a combination of a few) that works for you.
And if you have a history of addiction in your family, then you’re more likely to become addicted yourself. Perhaps you should go to a drug counselor, or Narcotics Anonymous meetings and get a sponsor. They can help a lot.
I hope everything works out for you, and remember, if you get too depressed, there’s always hotlines you can call, or you can just call 911.
