RE: Stuck in a Pleasure Trap to Escape Facing Pain in Ourselves or the World
@krnel, nice writeup. dont you think that depression is also a sign of imbalance. sometimes it is caused by chemical processes and at other times by psychological processes. one affects the other and causes a void. it almost seems to be symptoms of feeling empty rather than the absence of what you want/desire.
I think depression is a state after chain of failures.
Brain thinks that he is a loser))
what @krnel thinks?
Depression can be from many things indeed. Thinking one is a loser, likely from failures, from reality not aligning with what we want reality to be. It's a psychological state of mind as well.
The chemical imbalance can be purely physically derived sure, but often the chemical state is from psychological factors. Mind affects body. People can induce negative states like hysteria or panic attacks, all from the psyche.
