About

Is depression a response to unfortunate life events, or an unfolding of constitutional predisposition? The “learned helplessness” conceptualisation. Chemical and brain changes observed in depression - are they the cause or a manifestation of the negative mood? The relationship between negative thoughts and depressed mood - which takes priority? What can be done to reverse the downward spiral? How can we tell when someone is at risk of suicide?
