Can You Be Depressed Severely Long Term And It Not Be Situational.

Like im so very blessed I have a home food and extreme family and friends support. There should be no reason to be depressed however I've been severely depressed for 5 years and it caused conversion disorder and multiple hospitalization for suicide thoughts and actions. I'm in therapy but still haven't found a trigger

It's like having heart trouble. It doesn't need a trigger to cause big problems. That's why it's so important just to maintain awareness of it and treat it according to its present severity. All best to you, Jody! πŸ’

Jody, it can sometimes take a long time to figure out the triggers to depression and I can honestly say that it took me years. I only trigger I was really aware was my father's passing when I was 13 but I knew that there was more eating at me but it took me a long long time to acknowledge these things. Keep going to therapy and talking really honestly to your therapist and the trigger may just one day emerge.

40 plus years. Still struggling. It's a life condition from which I've been in remission periodically. It always comes back. I spend alot of time coping, it's very tiring.
