The main thing causing depression to a lot of people is there looks. An example of this is acne, i new a lot of people when i was younger who had this and it led to them becoming depressed. They went on anti depressants and even after there acne was gone they had to remain on the medication. Physical looks can be and are a serious factor in the causes of depression.

People who are unhappy with the way they look and always compare themselves to the looks of others often have depression. This is more of a reactive depression, reacting to there looks. Comparing there looks to others never goes well and this is mostly for people who are sick of the way they look and are jealous of others.

It is totally natural being jealous of others and get down about the way you look. Although the serious thing is, if your not extremely depressed do not go on anti depressants. Because you may have a change in mindset about your looks and before you know it you can not get off the anti depressants, you now rely on them.

Some people need to take medication for depression. But others do not. Make sure you work out what category you fall into and whether or not you should take medication for depression. If you should not and you do, you may find yourself reliant on anti depressants and leading you to a more serious form of depression. Which may require you to be on them for the rest of your life.

I wish you all the best in your challenge!!
