That's not an acceptable thing to say ''No reason to be depressed.'' Because it's just like you said unreasonable, it's also in most cases uncontrollable. If I had a switch to take away my depression I would have. There's a lot of things which come into play for someone with depression, for example your body can be sending out the wrong signals, your body can lack certain things or isn't providing enough etc. My anxiety disorder was even inhereted by my father so that's another thing.

Sure there are some things you don't have control over, but that alone isn't going to cause depression. You're in control of your own mental game. Some people ignore their mind and let things like depression and anxiety set in.

I'll be blatantly honest and say I occasionally get mild anxiety. But it's not uncontrollable. Sometimes I think some people are okay with being depressed. They don't make a concerned enough effort NOT to be.

I can understand what both of you are saying. Some moods with depression and anxiety are too hard for you to 'break out of'. But I know for a fact when my anxiety kicks in, I just push, and push, and push again until I can do it. I was working on a computer at a back of a glass one time and I needed to get up to print something. My legs would not work. I physically couldn't get up, but I kept forcing myself into trying, and after a while, I got up.
