Reasons someone may keep relapsing back into Depression

👉  They are in a toxic environment that continues to neglect their needs ( or even violates them) For example, their need for control, for society, or purpose.

👉  They have excessive responsibilities that leave them vulnerable to burnout and worsened mental health. For example, being “the carer” for others at the expense of yourself, overthinking etc.

👉  They have learned to cope with the triggers of depression but haven’t healed from the underlying contributing factors. For example, a past trauma

👉  They don’t have a “diversified” treatment plan. For example, solely relying on medication without implementing cognitive strategies to challenge negative thoughts, behavioral strategies to resolve toxic environment, or deep work to heal one’s “inner child”

👉  Depression is a complex mental illness with many contributing factors. Please understand this.

Everything is not always as it seems. Please check in on the ones you love. 💙⁣
