I'd argue some people need human interaction to not be depressed.
I generally don't as long as I have access to entertainment such as books or vidya

Ya it's basically not getting what you want.

>ugly and unfunny elyse

hey tom cruise

Also a lack of meaningful connections. It's telling that the majority of depressed people don't actually attempt to connect to people in authentic ways.

And i wanna face fuck that ugly horse

>t. that one guy who thinks to be depressed cause he can't get laid
kys

No, it's just you millennials think everything in life revolves around getting laid and that if you do, everything is fixed.

where in my post did i mention anything about sex?
get your mind out of the gutter

>omg im so depressed guys, I get to talk about video games and have tons of consumed products, and tons of money, im so depressed dudes waaa
We need another war.

Also have a friend who only plays league but used to play a wide variety of games and new games that came out. It's quite sad really and I don't know how to help him. I feel like him just sticking to that one game also keeps the depression because he could possibly make new friends and create new experiences through different games.

Boy, if there's anybody whose opinion on mental health we should take seriously its autistic retards on a video game board of a Japanese cartoon website

There won't be another. America, Russia and China advanced to such degrees that if another major war happened it would destroy the entire planet

And nothing of value except vidya would be lost, prove me wrong

i started Bioshock a few weeks ago and i'm loving it but i can't play it constantly to the end, i just keep getting back to that shithole of a game to feel worse every match

Literally this. It's all in your head.

Females in general can not be depressed. Life on easy mode, why would you be sad?

Depression is just a lack of fulfillment

A lot of it is actually brain inflammation.
>head injuries
>high processed foods/sugar diet
>food allergies
>GI issues
>gluten products
can all exacerbate brain inflammation and it most likely will follow you for life unless you try and tame it because the immune system in the brain works differently than the rest of the body.

t- read lots of books about it and watched many presentations by neurologists.

Nice eyebrows, bitch. Did you put 'em on with a grease gun?

When you're an attractive female, you don't only get laid, you get literally everything.
Want a job ? Fucking take one, please, we need female employees or we're gonna have problems with the law
Want free food ? Log on Tinder, you have free food in 10 minutes
Want an apartment ? Guys will be absolutely happy to invite you in, you don't even have to fuck them
Want attention ? Lol

I straight up can not think of anything an attractive woman can't have. You fear getting raped ? Buy a knife. Boom, now you literally have nothing to worry about in your whole goodness fucking life except stopping your boyfriend Kevin from fucking your friend Jessica.

go watch your JonTron kiddo

Depression is just an excuse for you faggots to not put in effort in your lives. Literally just be happy.

Considering that some of us actually work in healthcare and have done OT and PT work with actual autistic patients, yes. Real depression exists, but these existential lamentations by spoiled children are waxing vexation in light of the actual human suffering ones such as myself witness daily. Either get help or be silent; it is inappropriate to try to drag down the happy merely so that you are not miserable alone.

what about one from the front

I have a job, food and an apartment but I have to work at the factory for it, so it's kinda upsetting to see a stupid bitch who's rich as fuck telling me she has depression.

i want to impregnate alanah

>talking about eyebrows
Female or fag detected

No Olympics, simply fact. I have it better than most of the world population, doesn't mean females can suddenly be depressed.

Did she leave funhaus?

Hard to play games sometimes but if I force myself into an experience I might be able to enjoy it for a couple hours. If it's bad obviously I just sit around and stare at Yas Forums.
I have Bipiolar though so I have highs where I play games all day.
Drugs help.

Good observation.

Now THIS is a tranny comment. The type of mean-spirited girl who can see a wealthy bimbo and their first thought is "nice eyebrows bitchhhhhh"

lmao bore-ing

Obviously you wouldn't understand retard that's why you're posting woejaks

She's probably Italian

Those are outcomes of depression more often.

Owning things don't cure depression.

I didn't mean it literal. Get your shit together.

Roastie

Depression isn't a psychological thing.
Real depression is a lack of certain chemicals being present in the brain. It is a real physical thing. The incredible thing is how consistently people who aren't afflicted by it claim it doesn't exist. It can destroy someones drive to be anything and suck the enjoyment out of life. It's like experiencing the death of a relative 1000 times nonstop.

Its chemical imbalance and inflammation but antidepressants are a very crude way of addressing the problem. i would expect a few hundred years from now people will look back on us today and think of us as cavemen for prescribing SSRIs.

Nutritional profiling to find imbalance of key nutrients could be important. Also many people could get better just by exercising and avoiding processed foods. Over prescription of SSRIs and neglect of the former things is why the USA has so many school shooters and suicides now.

Nah, you are in an olmpycs, you autistic millennials see this is a competition, except, since your generation of autists has no skills whatsoever, you made a competition in the only thing you are consistently good at: failing at life.

Can’t quite imagine what depression is supposed to be like, since I’ve never had it.
Sounds embarrassing to have, or like total bullshit, but I guess I’ll never know.

It's phycological. Doesn't matter how you reclassify it. It's always phycological

Yes, you're wrong, videogames have no value too.

I miss Bruce also women can't have depression

>On average, adjusted for age, the annual U.S. suicide rate increased 24% between 1999 and 2014, from 10.5 to 13.0 suicides per 100,000 people, the highest rate recorded in 28 years

>In 2015, there were nearly 10.2 million NEETS ages 16 to 29 in the U.S., or 16.9% of that age bracket's total population, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics

Imagine all of the lives falling apart in the world all the time. All the pain and suffering.

It doesn't help either that most of the time people that don't suffer from it claim they have it

Wrong, research shows it can be inflammation. Not only in the head though.

>How does depression affect your gaming experience?

I haven’t wanted to play a game in months. I halfway get the thought of booting up something but then realize I’ll be quickly bored of anything I play and then watch YouTube instead. I’ve maybe been able to muster some excitement for CoD or DaS but only when friends play/I’m baked. Is this it bros? Do I quit gaming until I make something of my wretched life?

I don't think I have depression, but nothing positive/negative occurring in my life moves the needle more than 5% off of my normal semi-detached mood (including the recent death of my mother). Am I just a sperg?

>The incredible thing is how consistently people who aren't afflicted by it claim it doesn't exist
Humans are incredibly ignorant and normally cannot conceive of people living different lives or being brought up in different homes
>rich kids don't understand not going without food
>people in healthy homes don't understand being born into an abusive household
etc.
Just ignore them. Can't argue with willful ignorance.

>its all in your head
>yes we know, its mental illness
>NOOO NOT LIKE THAT
fuck off retard

I'm not reclassifying it.
A person might feel depressed after maybe a breakup and that is a pretty psychological reaction but clinically diagnosed depression is a result of chemical imbalances. The problem can be addressed in multiple ways. You might be joking, which is fine.
But if you aren't you are truly a parasite who feeds off of ignorance and suffering.

Someone seems mad that their ""depression"" is made fun of.

How much has funhaus died since Bruce and Law Dog left?
Are their videos enjoyable anymore?

>diagnosed depression is a result of chemical imbalances.
Do you have a website ? I'd like to know more about that.

>Thinking depressed people can drag down the happy ones.

Yeah, no you don't know shit.

I'm trying different things. I found out that you have to literally against your will click the play button on whatever it may be and you'll find yourself engrossed in the experience. This also could apply to real life things but I haven't put it into practice yet.
Smoking weed is a pretty easy way to get immersed but weed and pure depression can be a bad combo.
You could try a different hobby?

I am a more anxious person than depressed, I have have two typical experiences where my mental health impacted how I play video games. The first is I just am too nervous and shaken to pay attention, during break ups or family fights I want to play games that make me happy like Bloodborne or whatever I am enjoying but I genuinely can not bring myself to play the games for more than ten minutes. The other is that if I finish the game while I am experiencing either random anxiety or anxiety related to something that made me depressed, I will cry for hours. Literal hours, I finished Days Gone and my first Fire Emblem playthrough on the same day I maybe cried for six hours. I am usually pretty emotional when a game or movie/show ends that I really enjoyed but if I am already anxious its the fucking worst.

No one gives a flying fuck

I'm not a millennial, i'm not going through a second emo phase.
Impossible to be depressed with the constant entertainment your generation gives me every day trying to convince yourselves that your pathetic boy vs girl internet slapfight is radical activism and the key to saving the world.
Lets hope all millennials end up with that coronavirus thing and end up handicapped in some way for life, would be fun seeing you struggle with actual issues, and seeing if you are still trying to show off how "hard" you have it.

>Because depression isn't real.
This, it's just a lack of purpose and God in their life

They made Jon, Ryan and the other fat guy regulars

What drugs? bipolar here. Won't drugs fuck you up even more?

>"Depression has been linked to problems or imbalances in the brain, specifically with the neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. It is very difficult to actually measure the level of neurotransmitters in a person's brain and their activity."

You sound awfully mad for someone trying to convince everyone you're not mad.

They do. It's not a healthy coping mechanism but manic phases can get me killed so sometimes I medicate it.
