The pressure these days isnt from not being able to survive and find food and water, like it was when SG was a 3rd world country. Now it's from intense day i...

I have always only talk about the mental aspect, u were the 1 who brought in the physical aspecgt so u were the 1 who failed to read.

Regardless the problems faced, it is how the person copes. There are a number of people who goes through breakup in NS, a good number have to even support their families etc yet i do not see all of them getting into depression. Being unable to coop with all the stress is ur own fault and you cannot blame others. I known of people who have really tough life, family and relationship problems etc but they still manage to pull through NS.

Depression is caused by a failure of the person in coping with stress. If you cannot cope with the stress, its showing ur own weakness and the strength of others who manage to pull through despite all the odds they are facing. Thats mental resilence or mental strength.

I have mentioned depression ONLY. If you are failing to argue on the depression fact, please do not pull in all the mental problems just because you have nothing else to say. Just admit u loss and don't bring in other problems loser.

Why can't I bring in the physical aspect? Must I seek your permission first than I can bring in the physical aspect?

Yes there are many people in ns who have to support their families etc. But how do you know they are not suffering from depression?

Just because they never see a doctor and never take medicine doesn't mean they are not suffering from depression. Some people are suffering from depression and they don't even know it.

Just admit that you are a idiot with no brains and no logic and shut up.

If you want bring in the physical aspect, that has nothing to do with me so u cannot say my logic fail. By bringing in external content, it just shows ur lack the content to prove ur point and thus is required to bring in totally unrelated stuff showing how badly u failed.

Depression is a mental illness and not everyone who looks sad etc has depression. If you are not a psychology student or studies mental health do not talk like you do. Depression has to be diagnosed if not u do not ever consider it depression. If someone behaves sad is call depression, almost everyone is having depression liao. Please go learn ur facts about depression before you think its something that is so easily gotten.

You talk as if you are a psychology student.

You should go and learn about depression first and get all the facts first before you come here and say stupid comments like people who get depression are weak etc

I am a psychology student unfortunately for u. Don't think you are 1 since you seriously lack all the required knowledge.

If you do not know anything, pleaser go to 1 of the approved institutions to take a mental health first aid course, go to read the DSM on depression symptoms etc before you even come talk like you know anything.

Causes

The biopsychosocial model proposes that biological, psychological, and social factors all play a role to varying degrees in causing depression.^[12] The diathesis–stress model posits that depression results when a preexisting vulnerability, or diathesis, is activated by stressful life events. The preexisting vulnerability can be either genetic,^[13]^[14] implying an interaction between nature and nurture, or schematic, resulting from views of the world learned in childhood.^[15] These interactive models have gained empirical support. For example, researchers in New Zealand took a prospective approach to studying depression, by documenting over time how depression emerged among an initially normal cohort of people. The researchers concluded that variation among the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) gene affects the chances that people who have dealt with very stressful life events will go on to experience depression. Specifically, depression may follow such events, but seems more likely to appear in people with one or two short alleles of the 5-HTT gene.^[13]

A Swedish study estimated the heritability of depression—the degree to which individual differences in occurrence are associated with genetic differences—to be approximately 40% for women and 30% for men,^[16] and evolutionary psychologists have proposed that the genetic basis for depression lies deep in the history of naturally selected adaptations. A substance-induced mood disorder resembling major depression has been causally linked to long-term drug use or abuse, or to withdrawal from certain sedative and hypnotic drugs.^[17]^[18]

Than show me evidence to support your wild claims that people who suffer from depression is weak.

If you are really a psychology student as what you have claimed, it just shows that the universities are producing rubbish students who thinks that people have depression are weak.

Please quit your course.

We do not need such rubbish future psychiatrist like you who will do more harm than good

We have people like dkcx coming online to condemn people who are suffering from depression.

This clearly shows the human heart and values of dkcx is regressing

Causes

I have already said that depression has a biological link. Please read my post if you didn't know how to read properly. However biological causes requires a trigger. Not everyone with the genes that might cause depression is sure to get depression and not everyone who does not have the gene is immune from depression. As the article says, nature vs nurture.

The nurture part is about your environment which you will need to go read about social psychology to learn about its influence.

You should also go read up on a proper abnormal psychology textbook to learn more about depression and learn that biological is just a contributing factor but weak mental strength will result in higher chance of failling to depression regardless whether the person has the biological effect or not.

Show us evidence to support your claims that weak mental strength will result in higher chance of falling to depression.

Please go read any abnormal psychology textbook or any journals from the APA on depression.

If you are too lazy to, don't talk so much. Psychology is not something you can just learn from wiki if not noone needs to go to uni and can just go wiki read abit and act like they know alot on psychology.

Do note that even the wiki article you posted talks about nurture and not only nature so biological is only 1 but not the only cause of depression. Biological is just the seed, u need other factors to make the seed grow. Please go study more before you assume what you read from wiki.

There are lots of people in the internet like you making all sorts of wild claims but nobody treats you seriously really

If you dunno anything don't talk.

U can go pay APA suscription and go learn more or go read a psychology textbook to learn and gain knowledge before you start talking about any sort of mental illness or psychology related stuff. I don't need to make wild cliams of things already published that u dunno how to read.

fireng SG

If you dunno anything don't talk.

You don't know anything too but you are here making wild claims and the greatest joke being that you are a psychology student when you do not know anything about mental illness at all.

You never even post evidence to support your wild claim that depression is caused by the person being weak and you claim that I don't know how to read.

Obviously you are the stupid one

If you have the money, go buy the text and read up on them before you show off how little you know.

All proper claims are from journal articles that requires you to pay suscription to and we can get that from uni. However we are not allowed to share it due to copyright issues and such so just blame urself for ur lack of knowledge and not say things are wrong just because you don't have access to info to prove otherwise

Looking at u, its clear u are not of uni calibre to know what uni life is like to say that.

Well, I had more time to post in sgforums during uni time than after I started work

Cool it. dkcx, you too...

It's always hard to be the first one to stop the mud slinging. Was once like this, but I don't bother about it eventually. This is just an online forum, and whether you are right or wrong, no one will bother, nor will you get any prize for being the correct one.
