why am i depressed?

Question

for some reason every once in a while i get really depressed and nothing seems to make it happen it just pops up, i dont really have anything to be depressed about either

Answer 1

Being depressed every once in a while means that you don't have depression, as depression is technically considered as being down all the time for long amounts of time (months). More likely you have 'blue periods', which as it sounds, makes you feel blue or sad. Having DEPRESSION myself (longterm sadness), I would recommend that you either: A). See a psychologist, or if you're looking for medical treatment a psychiatrist. or B). When you feel down try to think about something to look forward to or do something you enjoy.
Best of luck!

Answer 2

Hello. The same thing happens to me. However, I was diagnosed with having a mood disorder. This might be something you'd want to check out. Depression is a very dark place. and when we cant explain it, it feels even darker. Do you have anyone close (family/friends) that you can talk to when your depression comes up?

Answer 3

Winston Churchill suffered from depression most of his life. He called his grey cloud I believe. Talk with your Doctor, not saying you have to be medicated, but maybe there is an underlying medical condition.
Even if there isn't maybe there is something you're not aware of, that may be causing these symptoms. All of us have depression at one time or another, I believe...
Take care of yourself, there's only one you.

Answer 4

It's a chemical imbalance in your brain. (low serotonin levels, or the receptors' inability to pick up this hormone.) I suggest that the best thing to do here is talk to your doctor, they can help you to deal with this, especially if you've been depressed for more than two weeks.
