The Root Cause of Feeling Depressed
Feeling depressed can have multiple root causes, and often it's a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. While everyone's experience is unique, here are the most common root causes of feeling depressed:
1. Biological (Internal/Physical) Causes
These are often root-level causes, especially when sadness feels chronic or unexplainable.
-
Brain chemistry imbalance: Low levels of serotonin or dopamine.
-
Genetics: Family history of depression or other mood disorders increases risk.
-
Hormonal imbalances: Thyroid disorders, postpartum shifts, menopause, or cortisol (stress hormone) dysregulation.
-
Medical conditions: Chronic illness, pain, or neurological issues like Parkinson’s or multiple sclerosis.
2. Psychological (Emotional/Mental) Causes
These shape how we process emotions and life events.
-
Childhood trauma: Abuse, neglect, abandonment, or unstable care giving.
-
Low self-worth: Deep beliefs like “I’m not enough” or “I’m unlovable.”
-
Perfectionism: Chronic self-pressure and fear of failure or not being “good enough.”
-
Unresolved grief or loss: Especially when not fully processed or acknowledged.
3. Social & Environmental Causes
These are external factors that can trigger or worsen depressed feeling.
-
Loneliness or isolation: Humans are wired for connection—lack of it deeply affects mood.
-
Toxic relationships: Emotional abuse, neglect, or codependency.
-
Life stressors: Job loss, breakups, financial hardship, or overwhelming responsibilities.
-
Lack of meaning or purpose: Feeling stuck, aimless, or like life has no direction.
4. Cognitive and Behavioral Factors
The way you think and behave can feed the sadness loop.
-
Negative thinking patterns: "I’ll never get better," "I’m a failure," etc.
-
Avoidance behaviors: Withdrawing from people or activities can worsen the cycle.
-
Rumination: Replaying painful memories or thoughts repeatedly.

My approach to healing from feeling depressed is a deeply personal journey—and it’s powerful that you’re even thinking about it. Here's a structured but flexible framework you can shape into your own healing path. This balances evidence-based strategies with space for personal meaning and reflection.
1. Awareness & Acknowledgment
“You can't heal what you won't name.”
-
Recognize that you're feeling low—and it's valid.
-
Identify your emotional patterns (sadness, emptiness, anger, numbness?).
2. Understand Root Causes
“Why are you feeling this way?”
Explore:
-
Internal triggers: Negative self-talk, trauma, burnout.
-
External triggers: Relationship dynamics, work stress, isolation.
-
Physical contributors: Poor sleep, diet, lack of movement, medical issues.
Prompt: What drains your energy? What gives you peace?
3. Rebuild Your Foundations
Feeling depressed often breaks down life’s basic systems. Rebuild them gently.
-
Sleep: Try consistent bedtime/wake-up times.
-
Food: Regular, nourishing meals—even if simple.
-
Movement: Light activity (walks, stretching, dancing).
-
Connection: Talk to one person a day—text counts.
4. Challenge & Rewire Negative Thoughts
You are not your thoughts.
-
Catch automatic thoughts like "I'm not good enough" or "Things won’t change."
-
Gently question: Is this thought 100% true? What’s a more balanced view?
You don’t need to have a "big" reason to feel depressed. Even when life seems “fine,” people can still feel depressed due to internal struggles or hidden emotional wounds.
Let’s walk this path together—with gentleness, respect, and deep care.

Before I met SC, I used to always strive to be strong and dependable, often putting others’ needs before my own. On the outside, I appeared quiet, independent and thoughtful. But deep inside, I carried a heavy weight of self-doubt, fear of rejection, and a deep-seated belief that I was not worth speaking up for.
When I met SC, I was in the midst of emotional and life upheaval. I was going through a difficult divorce, questioning my sense of identity, and grappling with a deep fear of making the wrong choices. I felt like I had to carry everything alone – like no one could really see or hold space for the real me.
Since having sessions with SC, my life has changed in a way that’s hard to put into words. For the first time, I felt truly seen – not for what I could do for others, but for who I am. With her guidance, I have learned how to listen to myself, trust my instincts, and set boundaries without guilt. She helped me uncover self-limiting beliefs which I had internalized for years, and patiently walked with me as I learned to unlearn them.
With her help, I've truly grown in ways I never thought possible. I no longer crumble in the face of pressure. I no longer tolerate disrespect, and I’ve chosen to let go of relationships that do not honour my worth. Most importantly, I've started believing that I'm deserving of love even if I have not yet succeeded by societal standards.
She has helped me to build the foundation to not just survive, but instead to thrive.
SC is not just a life coach. She's a compassionate mirror, a gentle guide, and a fierce believer in your potential – even when you cannot yet see it yourself. If you're in a season of self-doubt or life upheaval, I cannot recommend her enough.

I met SC the Happiness Coach for a few sessions. She was extremely open and patient to guide me through the process of discovering and understanding myself better. It is not easy for someone to just open up so easily. However with SC, perhaps she is a mother herself, as she was guiding me through, I felt that she was stepping into my role and my own shoes. In short, she was super highly empathetic. The sessions helped me a lot to remove the negative emotions and helped me propel forward so much more. If you are feeling lost and wish to speak to someone, SC is really the trusted coach to go to.

从小到大我就察觉自己的情绪很有问题，特别敏感和小气，常常就是爱跟自己闹别扭。这样的表现无形中深深的影响身边每一个爱我的人。
透过一位好朋友的推荐认识了SC. 经过了仅仅三次的疗愈疗程，我真的深深感受到自从在胎盘内就开始受到的委屈，感受到父母并不是嫌弃我的，因此我不再那么憎恨父母从小把我留在遥远的地方，因为他们当时过得也不简单。
从此我开始感受到我是被爱的，我是个丰盛的孩子。因此我也会把身边有需要帮助的朋友介绍给SC. 从黑暗中找到光明和平静的出口。
