>being depressed is not a magical condition where you're immune to stimuli.
Anon there are a lot of actual physical conditions that make you immune to stimuli. Anesthetics, certain drugs, burning out your dopamine receptors, etc. Bad analogy.

>>732761205
Literally none, playing games will just worsen your situation. Actually try to do something with your life if you're able (unless life fucked you over) or go to the gym maybe.

>>732761205
It's called exercise. Helps a lot in fact.

seconding for exercise. have been having a rough couple months recently and stopped going to the gym. it took me that much time to realize the reason i kept spiraling was because i stopped going to the gym. do this - download some autobattle gacha like bang dream, get on an elliptical machine, then exercise until you use up your autobattles

>burning out your dopamine recptors
no such thing. They don't just burn out and if they did its called parkinson's disease because dopamine it just a neurotransmitter and is used to move our arms and legs.

>The medical community has increasingly moved toward a biopsychosocial model. This suggests that depression isn't caused by a single "broken" neurotransmitter, but by a complex interaction of factors (Psychological, Biological, Social)


>The researchers conducted an "umbrella review," which is essentially a high-level summary of all the most significant existing meta-analyses and systematic reviews. Their conclusions included:

>* No Link Between Levels and Mood: There was no consistent evidence that people with depression have lower levels of serotonin in their blood or brain fluids compared to healthy people.
>* Gene Research: Large-scale studies on the serotonin transporter gene found no difference between people with depression and healthy controls.

>* Tryptophan Depletion: Artificially lowering serotonin levels (by depriving people of the amino acid needed to make it) did not actually cause depression in healthy volunteers.

> * The Verdict: The authors concluded that the "chemical imbalance" theory of depression is not supported by scientific evidence

Unironically trannism is now what depression used to be - this psychology shit is replete with midwits like you who are very very likely to engage in motivated reasoning to provide a broad explanation to their patients in a way that makes them feel valid while avoiding telling them they are responsible for their mental health, so they attribute it to magical forces and abstract categories (like trannies)

games should be the last thing on your mind here, you ought to see a doctor, psychotherapist or psychiatrist if you really are depressed. games aren't going to do shit for your depression, it's a psychological illness that needs to be worked on from the inside. or at least through medication

believing in astrology has more scientific merit than thinking depression is congenital condition or an illness that happens apropos of nothing

unironically smoke a cigarette, do it while you take a walk, if you are also having anxiety, take a Benadryl, wait 30 minutes, then have the cig

The Benadryl will reduce histamine in the areas of your brain related to anxiety, nicotine will increase histamine in the areas of your brain related to motivation.

>using autistic as some kind of insult on 4chan

>>732762946
You should know that anxiety/depression are related to much more than serotonin and dopamine, and also realize that the drugs that increase those neurotransmitters are like shotguns, they hit all of your brain instead of just the areas that matter.

Also, histamine and gaba are also related, along with serotonin and dopamine.

If you want to go the chemical route instead of doing (excersize, good sleep, calming activities like reading and writting)

Then you need to take a few different drugs. Alcohol will help with gaba, weed can help with serotonin and dopamine, anti-histamines and nicotine for more modulation

Have a beer, smoke a bowl, and smoke a cig after. You will feel better

>>732763196
That paper, conveniently pointed out to be a misinterpretation of data in several correspondences, is about the cause of depression, not what it does to the brain and how it might be cured, which both remain undisputed.

>>732763709
If you go into thinking that, you might get the nocebo effect
But good point, probably only smoke half a cig if you aren't a smoker.
I'm just saying that I was never a smoker, but when I was at my lowest, an antihistamine to calm my anxiety and a cig for stimulation and satisfaction completely changed my mood, and even into the next day I felt much better without even needing to take more drugs or smoke more.

If you are depressed, neither exercise nor chocolate will make your nerve cells release dopamine, which is what makes the depressed quit those activities.
Healthcare professionals recommend exercise and fun times because most people who come to them with "depression" are just normies sad some concert was cancelled. Exercise fixes those types right up, but not someone who is quantifiably depressed.

Research consistently shows that exercise can be as effective as SSRIs or CBT. Exercise isn't the entirety of treatmeant but instead adjuct therapy - the research your pseud tranny ass ignored shows that depression is a biopsychosocial condition. "Environment" is a plural experience and gym is a part of that plurality of environment.

"Quantifiably depressed" is a nonsensical, completely false terminology. There's no producible diagnosis that can measure depression via a blood test or a brain scan. You are making a medical distinction that quite literally cannot happen. There's no test for it (i know you believe in pop science from 20 years ago and youtube videos, these are fake)

>Nerve cells won't release dopamine
Cells still release dopamine, but the reward system may be blunted or desensitized.

>Exercise only works for 'normies'
Exercise is a evidence-based treatment that changes brain chemistry and structure for all levels of depression.

>Quantifiable depression
Depression is a clinical diagnosis based on observable behavioral symptoms , not a quantifiable "chemical count."

Once again, you think depression is a magical condition where human beings are immune to stimuli. This is like saying stress does nothing to people and they should man up, or like saying your thyroid glans is responsible for your identity. You're quite literally coping because you can't stomach the fact that youre a fat depressed retard because of the bed you made

Honestly just stop trying to do anything and just sit and experience your depression instead of trying to force yourself to escape it

>>732761205
Find something you genuinely enjoy doing, maybe not making games but how to make one, even if you have no intention of doing it yourself. Every subject is a rabbit hole that you can lose months or years learning about.
Or go learn other interesting stuff. There has to be something.
Now, when people complain they can't focus is because they are worried about something else. Maybe work on that first. Nothing is enjoyable when the sword of Damocles is above your neck.

>>732761205
In my experience games don't do much to help.
