Yes your genes might play a role in predisposition but lifestyle choices are integral to good mental health

My parents got married at 23 dirt poor and popped out four kids <:CHAD:396569198404435969>

yes lifestyle is also a factor as far as I know

yeah, you must nurture your mind body and soul

it's like with cancer, you can be predisposed to a certain kind of cancer, but if you'r ehealthy you won't get it

my mom was 35 and my dad was 33

I was born the next year

I've had dealings with mental health institutions since I was quite young because I had a somewhat unorthodox upbringing and can guarantee that this is the case

brother was born 4 years later

cardio is really good for keeping your brain plastic too

Depression can literally occur in anyone. Some lifestyle changes can help symptoms, but actual clinical depression is the result of a chemical imbalance.

it increases production of new neurons

through BDNF

I was supposed to be an only child cause they didn't want to raise a bunch of kids, and probably couldn't afford it anyway

Chemical imbalance caused by environment

my parents kind of drifted from job to job

Chemical imbalances can be rectified by lifestyle changes lol

Lmao they aren't

Prove it.

You have more power over your own body than you think

Yeah they are lmao, they say they aren't to sell you meds

then when they got married they opened a little store

but it was only enough to pay the rent

You're legit the people who tell depressed people to drink more water.

my mom came from a low class household

Where do you think these chemicals come from, largely from the gut

We know that certain activities induce more or less production of certain hormones and chemicals

Nah drinking water is bad in general, you don't need much

and my dad was from a more or less rich middle class family

I literally cured my depression and anxiety with diet only

MMW will tell you that depression comes from inflammation in the body

but wealth can dissipate generationally when the head of the household has no replacement

Okay

working out everyday, diet and sleep fix pretty much every problem

@Str3tch it literally does

in the case of SAD

I used to have depression years ago

yeah brain inflammation is no good

I can basically vouch that it is physical and not actually psychological

Psychological = physical
