Science of Depression:
Depression is a disease. It runs in families. There are blood tests that show it. A CT scan can show who is depressed by the size of a part of the brain called the Hippocampus. It is for real, and it is deadly.
So get over yourself and accept that you might have it. It doesn't mean that your are a dweeb. If you were diabetic , you would accept that you have low insulin levels. Depression has something to do with brain chemicals. Serotonin, noradrenalin ( which is the same damn thing as adrenalin, which is the same thing as epinephrine, which is the same thing as norepinephrine, so I don't know why they need so many damn names) and dopamine in your brain. ( Dopamine is also related to Parkinsons Disease and Schizophrenia, and nobody thinks those can be blamed on your parents, so get over yourself. Your parents weren't perfect. Neither are you. So what ! Live with it. )

Yes, I know, that video was made by a couple of flaming homosexuals, but they happen to be :
