Answer 3

I was told by a Psychologist that depression is anger turn inward on the self. Think about it.......

Some anger is not acknowledged openly for some reason or another. Maybe we feel guilty about it, or feel it is inappropriate, or should not be directed at a certain person, a parent perhaps. Most of this is unconscious of course. So we bury it.

The anger may be the result of something that was hurtful to us. Keeping it inside or directing at our self feels safer than directing it outward. Unable to resolve our anger we may be overcome with feelings of helplessness. We may feel powerless, unable to direct the course of our life. We may become depressed.

The answer may lie in appropriate expression of the anger and the frustration we may be feeling. Not that we should blow up and tell someone off, but maybe just to talk about what angers us and work through methods to better manage it. We will then feel in control and more self-directed in our lives and this will hopefully alleviate the depression.
