Thinking too much is the reason for depression.Am I right?

True, thinking negative worrying too much on small things are main reasons for depression.

I don't agree that thinking is the reason for depression. Thinking too much is anxiety which is associated with depression. Thinking too much about something is a sign of depression, it doesn't cause it. I have experienced depression my entire life and it affects every aspect of a persons life. Physical and mental. Sometimes you don't even know what the problem is, but you just don't feel "right"

You have to be in balance with your thoughts, many people that are realistic are often considered to be thinking negative. And not necessarily thinking about a problem will not be productive for anybody, much less for somebody who is depressed, but being monotonous will make the brain sleazy. Any type of positive activity will distract at least for a while the negative thoughts.

depression, as you have said could be the result of too much thinking of a problem. if you keep the problem with yourself, that could really end up to depression if you see no solution to it. sometimes, you should tell it to your friends, share your problems with them, open it up to them and you will find the problem easier to handle. and more, even if friends can not solve your problem, at least they can give you advises.

Also remember always and never may be broken, "murphy's law". I tend to agree that thinking too much on a subject when a person already has depression will keep it around longer than necessary. Thinking could also be good if a person thinks positive along with negative thoughts. Weighing more scenarios than what a person already thinks might work out in their favor also.

I myself do currently suffer from depression, i have a lot of past issues and problems that i am having a really hard time letting go of. Basically how i keep it at bay is keeping myself busy. I do agree the more you think about it, the stronger it is. Although i also agree that completely ignoring it is not a good solution either. At some point you have to deal with the problems that are bringing you down, but for the time being i just keep busy. If i can't sleep i wont just lay there in bed, i'll get up and do something so that im not left alone with my thoughts. I have a family to take care of, and for that reason i can not let my overwhelming emotions take over. I do not have the option of just laying in bed all day, and when my mood is bad it affects both my son and my boyfriend. When im not myself, i am very grumpy and easily irritated which is not good when dealing with a 10 month old boy. Everyone has their reasons for being depressed, and their ways of dealing with it, and keeping busy is my way. I do have plans to pursue therapy, to help me get past my issues, but not at the current moment for there is far too much going on in my life for me to be stressed out and consistantly talking and thinking about all the things i keep inside that hurt to think about.
