What Causes Depression? 

where can you buy magic mushrooms​, Depression is a symptom, not a disease unto itself. All forms of depression have an underlying cause — some are much more difficult to identify than others.

The causes of depression can be broken down into two categories: 

1. Internal & Chemical Causes of Depression

Chemical causes originate from within the system. This can include hormone imbalance, side effects from medications or illicit substances, or so-called ‘chemical imbalances.’

Some conditions can cause depression as a side effect, such as Cushing’s disease, hypothyroidism, sleep disorders, and chronic pain and where can you buy magic mushrooms​.

Treatment for chemical or internal depression involves altering brain chemistry with antidepressants. These medications are designed to boost neurotransmitters and induce positive emotions in depressed individuals.

Unfortunately, these medications do little to treat the underlying cause. When people stop taking antidepressants they often slip right back into the condition within a few weeks or months.

2. External Causes of Depression and where can you buy magic mushrooms​

Researchers are now discovering that the true cause of depression for most people goes beyond our physical hardware (the brain). Studies have shown that any changes in how we think can manifest in real, measurable changes in brain chemistry and mood.

So what kind of thought patterns cause depression?

Well, there are many.

Examples of external causes of depression: 

• Thought loops & rumination — continuously thinking the same thoughts, which tend to be dark, sad, or disturbing in nature.
• Learned helplessness — the belief that we’re powerless to solve our problems.
• Existential dread — questioning of whether or not one’s life has purpose, meaning, or value.
• Doomerism — stems from the overwhelming immensity of global problems like overpopulation, climate change, and the possibility these events will result in the annihilation of the human species.
• Childhood trauma or neglect — traumatic experiences as a child cause us to disconnect with the self as a form of self-preservation. This disconnection remains until there’s a conscious effort to restore it.

Symptoms that may appear to be “chemical” in nature, actually originate from thoughts outside our conscious awareness.
