點解香港人咁抑鬱??

因為工作或學業或家庭方面忙碌和壓力大等，但找不到信任或合適的傾訴對象，無法將感受宣洩出來，只好將它全部都藏在心裏，久而久之搞到咁抑鬱。

1) environmental factors:
a) too many cars, too many people, not enough open space / park for recreational purposes.
b) constantly living in a sound polluted, and air polluted environment. It's a stressfull environment to live in to begin with.
2) hong Kong people have a tendence to over work themselves and do not know how to relax.
a) everybody wants to pick up hours or even working two or more jobs.
b) too many people don't take care of their bodies. For ex. skipping lunches, sleeping late, not exercising, not finding ways to relax, etc. Resulting in burnout.
3) cultural factors:
a) hong kong culture is a fast paced, success driven society. Everybody want to have the best and the greatest.

There is a great pressure to success in hong kong, starts out when we were in school as early as kindergarden and progresses into adulthood. Without taking time off to relax, one could easlier burn out and become ill whether is physically or mentally.

one of the definitions of depression is "angry turn inward", instead of getting angry at the person who got you upset, you turn that angry into yourself.

Also with any kind of mental illness, there is also a physiological component to it, very often there is a chemical imbalance in the person's brain and many require medication to correct this imbalance.

Clinical depression (also called major depressive disorder, or sometimes unipolar when compared with bipolar disorder, which is sometimes called manic depression) is a state of intense sadness, melancholia or despair that has advanced to the point of being disruptive to an individual's social functioning and/or activities of daily living. Although a low mood or state of dejection that does not affect functioning is often colloquially referred to as depression, clinical depression is a clinical diagnosis and may be different from the everyday meaning of "being depressed." Many people identify the feeling of being depressed as "feeling sad for no reason", or "having no motivation to do anything." One suffering from depression may feel tired, sad, irritable, lazy, unmotivated, and apathetic. Clinical depression is generally acknowledged to be more serious than normal depressed feelings. It often leads to constant negative thinking and sometimes substance abuse.

Without careful assessment, delirium can easily be confused with depression and a number of other psychiatric disorders because many of the signs and symptoms are conditions present in depression, as well as other mental illnesses including dementia and psychosis.[1]
