Why I don't believe the "Depression is genetics" cope

[AlexAP]

In the last decades, depression and anxiety has risen sharply. How could this be the case if depression is genetics? Did we experience a genetic mutation in the world that lead to more depression?

Of course not. The reason is that there are more diagnoses today. There are more therapists and they want to have more patients, so they diagnose everyone with bad mood as depressed. Especially with women.

And real depression is caused by real-life events. Especially with men. If depression has risen among men, it's because they have a worse life than before, not because of a genetic mutation.

Nah I don't think so, it's the loneliness and lack of purpose that many men are feeling today.

why are they lonely? because of their forced lifestyle of living in a sick society

Depression is caused by loneliness, which is caused by being ugly. Depression in anyone aside from ugly men is a lie.

What people mean with depression is genetics is that some people are more genetically blessed to deal with a lack of life quality than others.

Example: I know plenty of incels in my STEM uni IRL that don't seem to be all that bothered by the fact they are kissless virgins at the age of 25. How do they cope? I don't know. Genes I guess.

The reason we have more depressed people, is because life quality has decreased sharply, especially for men.

But the reason why you are depressed, and not your peers in a compareable situation, is because they are genetically wired to cope better/differently.

My father and mother somehow are never depressed even though they never travel, never do anything exciting basically, its very wierd tbh, my father is somehow only happy while the only thing he does for decades is work as a taxi driver, wierd tbh, i would go eR

I guess they find joy in other things. How many things in life give you joy? If there's nothing, I can understand you're depressed.

And if a STEMcel genuinely loves STEMceling, I can understand that they're not depressed.

Genes gave me a recessed maxilla which in turn leads me to depression

I would guess they're happy with how their lifes turned out. Older people often live through their memories and vicariously through their kids.

its balding and the lack of getting pussy

Having kids is a good cope tbh, you feel like you have achieved alot when you see your kid doing well

It's not about stress. Most probably it's about lack of connections.

There are niggers in Africa who live under real serious stress. For instance they could be eaten by a lion any moment (and ofter they are). Guess what? They don't have depression.

Our stresses are much milder in comparison, but we suffer more, because when we fall into depression, there is no way out for us.

So what is the secret wisdom that prevents depression?
1. Family, father to talk to, wife to fuck.
2. Religion, purification rituals.
3. Tradition, roots, belonging.
4. Nature.
5. Physical labor.
6. Private personal possession.

We don't have fukkimb anything of that.

I have zero of that.

Did we experience a genetic mutation in the world that lead to more depression?

lack of harsh Darwinian pressures lead to maladaptive mutations.

It’s probably a mix of environment, genetics and more open discussion

Why

 

[hebbewem]

Mental health is taken more serious so that lead to more diagnosis so it still can be genetic

I believe Its a mix of more diagnoses and unhappiness caused by late capitalism lifestyle.

You don't have to believe it, but every human condition has a genetic basis.

Of course, but why there are so much more depressed people today? It can't be only genetics.

Survival has become easier, so there's more time for people to think about existentialism. More people are living long enough to the point of committing suicide, whereas in the past they may have died earlier from another cause.

 

[CupOfCoffee]

Everything about modern life is conducive to depression. Lack of social connection, broken families, shitty food, vegetable oils, pollution, sedentary jobs, the fall of religion. And probably the normalization of alcohol and weed isn't helping on a population level

That may be true, but it's still not the reason why more people are depressed imo. Having a job, girlfriend and friends would make 99% of men happy, it's not genetics that makes them unhappy.

The social isolation is the biggest problem. But no worries, the Metaverse is coming.

Having sex is a pleasurable experience which temporarily offsets the inherent suffering of life. I already explained why saying that a human condition is "not genetics" is a fallacy.

Humans who live in nature and eat raw meat live to 140

No one is depressed or suicidal from thinking about existentialism

He was mentally ill and brainwashed. Just look at him. You have to be mentally ill to go on love island to begin with. To kill yourself over a lack of money just shows that you're disconnected from nature. I would be content with homelessness.

Your physical health is what determines how good you cope with things. Your mental health isn't something that's floating around. It's physical. If you weren't breastfed enough as a kid, don't eat enough meat and things like bone marrow and blood (which no one has these days) or was vaccined or given medicine then how can you cope without the right hormones running through your blood
