Answers:
I'd say your playing video games so much is a symptom of your depression, not a cause. You feel better being distracted by the world of the game, where you have more control than in the real world. Depression makes people anxious. Anxiety is discouraging. It's hard to say which comes first. A mental health professional can listen to your whole story and advise you whether to treat both your anxiety and depression at once, with both psychotherapy and meds or just one. It takes time to get over something like this. The only way to do so is one step at a time.
The biological basis of our emotions is nowhere nearly as simple as people pretend it to be. Here is a realistic, but readable report from last year of how researchers look at this:
http://psychologytoday.com/articles/inde...
People have been hoping for a simple cause for depression for over fifty years. This was triggered by the discovery of how much more specific tricyclic antidepressants were in helping depression than previous medications that were just stimulants and sedatives. The original hypothesis of a chemical imbalance was based on the autonomic nervous system where there is indeed a balance between sympathetic neruons that use norepinephrine to speed the heart and do many other things vs. parasympathetic neurons that use acetylcholine to slow the heart and do many other opposite things. Some hoped that the brain was similarly balanced and that balance became imbalanced with depression. It's not that simple, not with serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine put together.
All of the antidepressants that work on those three chemicals have effects on those chemicals quickly and affect those chemicals in everyone who takes them. Yet the antidepressant effect of these drugs takes weeks and is present in far less than 100% of people who take them. The biological basis of depression is not to be found simply in one chemical or even three, but rather in the sorts of things the above article discusses. And even then there is a place for understanding the psychology of depression as well as its biology. People also oversimplify the psychology of depression into just being the result of negative thoughts or something similar. Neither psychology nor biology is simple.
no offence and all but its a wonder u even have a girl try and clean up ur act it sounds like u want to be like this.
Have your testosterone checked. That was my case, I'm only 22 and still desire sex but have low testosterone. It's a simple blood test. I believe high blood pressure can cause anxiety.
well you know what depression is,
Anxiety is like being worried and over reacting and getting really nervous
I have on a scale of percentages my therapist said my anxiety is 99.99% so i take prozac, but anxiety is caused by thinking about things too much, you just need to relax and let things go the way they go
No wonder, you're doing nothing in terms of inner development.
It's all focused toward achieving success in imaginary places.
You're going to die soon. 4 years, 40 years, it's soon. Live in the real world, die in the real world.
Whatever real is perceived to be, it can always get realer.
