Depression isn't just in your head. Any one that says that doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about.
But it is in your head, that’s why it’s called a mental illness. There’s people out there who try and tell people with depression that “its just in your head” to try and connect depression and weakness by connecting the mental part of it as something that can be controlled or stopped. What people don’t realize is that when someone is depressed, it is in fact, in their head. In a sentence, depression is caused by serotonin levels, a chemical in the brain which allows the person to feel happy, promoting low levels of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter which allows the person to concentrate. Although, depression can be felt throughout the body, this does not make it a physical illness.
