It is completely real. Do you have constantly the feeling of wanting to be in a dark room alone, away from the world, and just sit there and simply exist? That is a feeling I am familiar with. After going to a psychologist who just kind of blew it off as "college stress," I didn't really know what to do. I just kind of existed and didn't really have motivation for anything-- friends, school work, exercise. It is like a deep down anger that when someone asks you what's wrong, there is no good answer that encompasses everything. However...
While I can't offer a end-all solution, I can offer something that will help. I suggest strongly that you find a hobby or something you can put passion and time towards. For me, it was music. I ended up using music as motivation to keep on living. I got myself a cheap drumset. With that, I could hit out the frustration, and be alone and practice alone. With music, I could also write my emotions out on paper and turn them into songs. I can't say I'm happy yet or even neutral, but I can say if I didn't have a hobby, a passion to put effort towards, I'd be afraid to know where I'd be now.
I can only say that giving up and accepting the circumstances of life is the worst thing you can possibly do. For not a single person knows what happens a year, a week, or even 5 minutes into the future. Have hope, and if you don't know a reason why, simply have hope in the unknown future.
My message box is almost always empty if you ever need to chat privately about this matter. (Or if I was unclear, misunderstood the situation, or if you want to insult me, write a Haikou about it, or even write a song with me haha feel free to go ahead)
If for some reason you don't want to talk with me about or anyone to be precise, another possible thing that helps is called free-writing. It is simply writing for 20 minutes as a flow-of-conscience way. It isn't important what you write, but it is important that you just keep writing for 20 minutes straight. If at the end of the 20 minutes you feel worse than you did, this may not be for you. However, for many people this helps.
Stay strong! Don't let anybody tell you to simply "get over it." It is a real thing, and many people have suffered and are suffering from it! If we don't chat again, I wish the absolute best in fighting it. It is hard to beat, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying.
People of GAG-- again, sorry for the rambling.
If you are on meds and still feel this way, you should really tell your doc. There is no shame in it, don't quote me on it but at least 10% of the global population has felt the same as you at some point in theit life. Hope you feel better and wish you the best. And call your doc!
Of course depression is real. It also has to do with chemical imbalances. That's what the medication is for. If you are still feeling depressed then they need to give you a different dosage. I am bipolar and I have a personality disorder and it will never go away. I wish depression was just temporary, but it's not. I play video games to let stress off and distract me.
It is a fact that depression contributes to a lack of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. That's why ecstasy users experience depression after chronic use, because the drug causes your brain to produce too much, to where the supply on the signals are dull.
It's a real mental illness. It's not always genetic but if someone in your family has it your more likely to have it too.

It seriously is. I have been on a few different medications but welbrution has worked the best for me, if you feel depressed still you might want to get your dosage adjusted or change medications, i know how hard it can be but just try to hang in there and get some help. Therapy might also help
There are different types of depression. Some suffer with it regardless of anything in their lives. I think yours is more situational. Once your situation changes, you won't be depressed anymore unless something else happens to cause it.
Depression is a temporary (or permanent) imbalance of different neurotransmitters. That condition, though, is called a depression (in the case that it actually is a depression, it might also be something else).
So it is both an imbalance and real.
Depression is very real and the emotional trauma manifests physically so it's painful too. I know the feeling, hang in there it does get better.
Yes, it's real when your mood goes up and down for sure it's Bipolar...
