Does Depression Warp Your Mind?

I have noticed that over the years my mind has gotten completely jaded and twisted. Is it possible that depression can cause someone's personality to change so much that their sense of humor changes and become nihilistic?

Definitely there are days my head feels so full I can’t even focus not think literally. Some days so full I do not know how to attack chores or where to begin my day. It is a horrible feeling I usually I know may sound crazy I jump into a relaxing tub Epsom salts lights off candles and lay back this is my go to definitely takes the edge off.

Definitely. It happened to Mark Twain and George Carlin, both funny people. And I used to be idealistic; now, I don't have friends, because no one is trustworthy. My sense of humor is as dark as midnight.

I just thought about this... I've always been the funny one in the crowd. To me I want to make others an myself laugh it's much better to laugh together than to cry alone so if I'm Warped I have a Damb good Cover😝😝😝😝

I don't know about you but I'm unfortunately on medication. That causes my personality to change for the worse. I used to be a totally different person than I am now. My depression, I think, does cause my personality to change. It's getting worse. When I wasn't on medication age 16 up I had a great personality as I got older and my depression started to get worst my personality did start to change for the worse. I was as happy I didn't laugh as much. I started really taking medication in 2019 and it's even worse. Medication sucks for feeling any feelings at least for me.
