Hey, this is Leo, for actualized.org, and in this video, I'm going to talk about depression.

And I'm going to answer the question of, why am I, you depressed? You depressed. Okay, so why are you depressed? What is the cause of your depression? What is the root cause? And what are some ways that you can start to get a handle on it?

So depression is an epidemic. It's out there, so many of us, especially in first world countries nowadays are starting to

actually get more and more signs of depression. Why is this going on? What's

happening here? What is the rock-bottom truth about depression.

All right here is the deal and I'm going to be blunt with you here

because the bottom line is that the reason you're depressed is because your psychology sucks.

All right, you've got shit psychology.

I'm not blaming you, I'm telling you a fact.

Now there's really two cases here that I'm going to distinguish.

There are people who are watching this that are going to be clinically depressed,

that are actually going to have perhaps legitimate

physiological conditions that are contributing to their depression. But I want to be very careful about saying that because most of you, when you're, especially

when you're in a depressive type of state, are going to be quick to look for a way to be a victim and to not take responsibility for how you're feeling and for the fact that you are causing your own depression.

All right? So even though there are... causing your own depression.

So even though there are clinical cases,

which I'm going to suggest that if you are a clinical case,

go and see a medical doctor, go see a psychiatrist, put yourself on medication perhaps if that's the right course for you.

So there's that.

Then there's the other half of you, and I would say it's not the half it's the majority by

large the majority that are really just in a bad psychological state and that your depression is not really genetic and it's not really clinical.

All right? This is just bad psychology and the fact that you have not taken responsibility for your own personal development.
