In the end its just a state of mind which you choose to have or not to have. |

Depression is definitely all about anger, but it's inward looking anger and loathing. I think some people are better at expressing their anger outwardly - ie. being forceful or worse, being violent - and some people just turn this on themselves. If you feel a sense of hatred for yourself, that is essentially just anger isn't it? |

No, not anger. More like enthusiastic despair. |

Yes. I used to just be angry..but after I had my kids I was really tired and just didn't have the energy to put into being angry anymore..so then I got depressed instead..so the doc put me on anti depresants to turn me ambivalent. I am really excited to see what sort of dysfunctional emotional state I will experience next! :-) |

Rage is anger turned outward. Depression is anger turned inward. |

I can see this as being so, to a degree. I struggle with depression daily. Some of it is a shame of my failed marriage. Some of it is anger over things that happened to bring about that failure. Some of it is because of things that happened to me in the past. Some of it is fear, because for the first time in my life, I am on my own and everything depends on how well I do. |

Yes it is. It is anger turned inward. |

No its a psychological disorder that makes people feel sad although they also feel anger as well. |

I think you could argue it was apathetic rage. You could get a PHD with this theory. Look at Freud. He had a crush on his mom and now we still talk about how smart he was. |

Depression and Happiness is a tightrope and I dont have a balance pole. |

I disagree. Depression has nothing to do with anger. It's feeling bad about yourself, or a lack of hope.
You don't have to be angry to not feel good about yourself and the future. |

Nope.
You leave no room for hopelessness and sadness. Silent sadness.. agony that has no reason. |

Another description is "anger without breathe". |

It could be described that way but possibly more that it is unfocused. Depression can be very strong but often is in search of an explanation or target. |

NO it is NOT..
depression is loosing the motivation to add any kind of value to anything as you know you will loose it some day..
you don't want to get married cuz of fair being divorced again
you don't want to do your exams for the fear of failing it again
and so on..
Depression is using your imagination to feel GUILT for the PAST and FEAR for the FUTURE... |

I've been told that depression is anger turned inward and for my chronically depressed husband, I would say that this is true. He's usually either angry at the world around him (our family and me) or himself. When he's angry with himself, those are the sad, flat days of depression. |

Wow, I think you're on to something here. I've been depressed since Katrina and trying to find a way out of it, but you just explained it to me. I'm angry, but have no outlet for it. No enthusiasm.... that's it. Thank you. |

I never thought of it that way, but it makes sense. |
