Do you guys realize that depression is literally a mental illness?

Mental illness is a meme.

Mental Illnesses don't exist

iIIness doesn't exist.

And all happiness is caused by dopamine being released in large or small amounts to make you feel good.

Everything doesn't exist.

>not just killing yourself by shooting yourself in the roof of your mouth
doing it wrong

Nothing doesn't exist.

Depression as in boohoo i can't get a gf isn't a mental illness. Depression as in can barely move to get out of bed and can't eat without gagging and feeling like generally every atom in your body is hurting is very real.

That's pretty cool. It's kind of like a drug.

>tfw actually have this

>>26193806
That sounds awful. Do you at least take meds for it?

>>26193849
Used to but it was pointless

Don't particularly want to live or die.

Maybe it what you were taking. I have epilepsy and was taking Kepra, it just made me sleepy and I'd have a seizure every six weeks. I take depicote now and only get migraines every now and then. Plus, my outlook on life is a little better.

Thats why virtually all addicting drugs effect your dopamine levels.

It's kind of an either/or deal, dude.

Oh, so when you have some sort of mental illness, does that mean you have a dopamine deficiency?

The human brain generally is an illness altogether when used incorrectly. The entire population, except for a rare handful of individuals are slaves to their minds and therefore have mental illness. Depression is merely just a more extreme form of the disease.

You listen to a lot of Alex Jones, don't you?

Sometimes, mental illnesses like schizophrenia may be caused by dopamine being released for the wrong reasons.

Theres also
Endorphins - basically morphine
Serotonin - Why relaxation feels good after a long day
Oxytocin - The only reason you enjoy the company of other people

I suffer from chronic migraines which is attributed to serotonin levels, the only way I can prevent them is having a heavy workout 5 times a week to produce more serotonin.

Dopamine deficiency is more like dysthymia - low motivation, sour outlook, inability to enjoy things. Severe depression (feeling intense sadness all the time) is more crippling, but it's also easier to treat with antidepressants. Dopamine is a motherfucker.
