MONTREAL, Nov. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Feeling sad after the loss of a loved one, a major disappointment, or a difficult or traumatic experience is to be expected. However, sadness and depression are not interchangeable, as the former is a normal, healthy response to a tough situation that eventually dissipates, whereas the latter is chronic and debilitating. So what leads to depression? Aside from experiencing a difficult life event, research from PsychTests.com highlights six other factors that increase the likelihood of depression: rumination, caring too much about other people's opinions, unhealthy perfectionism, focusing only on negative aspects, attributing failure to internal and unchangeable factors, and the most damaging of all, persistent feelings of guilt and shame.

Key Points: 
  • Although some people may have a genetic vulnerability to depression, it's almost always the result of a prolonged, maladaptive thinking style.
  • According to PsychTests' study:
    > 91% of the depressed group feel they don't deserve to be loved, compared to only 3% of the non-depressed group.
  • > 75% said that they are unable to forgive themselves for the mistakes they've made, compared to 13% of the non-depressed group.
  • > 93% of the depressed group keep themselves up at night thinking about problems, compared to 16% of the non-depressed group.
