First of all we have to set the premise and understand that everything in the modern Western culture is deliberately designed to make you feel ''depressed'', so that they can promote depression, keep you in a depressed state, make you believe you can't help it, make you feel a victim and then keep you in this loser mindset for the rest of your life, making you a weak working slave in the antfarm.
We have to differentiate 2 types of depression: 1. the depression that comes from the nihilism we live in, the consumerism, the lack of meaning, the lies, which lead to bad life results, the constant chasing of nothingness, 2. depression that could come from serious life circumstances such as PTSD, or maybe child molestation or things like that. What we see nowadays is 99% of people claiming to be depressed falling into category 1, and category 2, the ''serious'' forms of depression, being outliers.
Now what do we see with depression? We see an increasing trend. For example, depression in women has steadily increased since the 70s, when women's liberation started as we know it now. The more freedom, the more depression, because as we know women get attached emotionally to men, and when this attachment is broken again and again they'll get serious emotional troubles. Moreover, more women then ever don't have children and families, so we see the highest amount of depression in 40 yrs old + women in professional careers without said children and family, as that's what gives their life meaning. Now we also see increasing depression in men, in line with the annihilation of masculinity, the man as leader of te house, respect for masculinity, a meaningful existence in a community.
Did we have cry sessions in the past, when the Greeks attacked Troy, or when the Titanic sank, or when we blasted through the frontline of gunfire in Verdun, or when there was yet another famine? Life's tough, it's cruel, it's ''unfair'', it's gonna smack you in the face and because of an overemotionalization of society where everything is fake and all pictures on Insta are laughing people while they're deeply depressed inside, people compare themselves to one another, this non existent, fake, counter reality standard, and then feel sad that they don't live a life like that. It's meant to be a hamsterwheel to keep you in a perpetual cycle of depression, not feeling good enough, chasing phantoms.
Depression is a weapon by the devil carefully construed in modern society to keep you in a loser, victim mindset, so that you're weak and are not able to be of any serious resistance against the global regime and the demons. What any man in said category 1 would help is to dive into the red sphere and first of all understand that the path they're on is a path of nihilism that is designed to bring them to a perpetual cycle of depression. No psychologist is going to tell them that. Then they have to find a way in life and create some meaning, whether that's through helping the community, getting fit, learning masculine skills, changing the bin of garbage of thoughts that's been programmed into our head since the dawn of our existence as we're products of modernity, and then get to a better place. Depression is nothing more than a feeling to say that you're going in the wrong direction - which is what society has taught you to go to. Change that direction and the depression will turn into different emotions. But don't forget Christ suffered, and Christianity is a religion of suffering, and in suffering great meaning, insight and perspective is to be found. Diamonds become diamonds only under pressure. Negativity and positivity are ying and yang: you're gonna feel depressed, angry, happy, satisfied, dissatisfied, full of prowess, weak, all according to circumstance and situation, and these emotions will change over time. The underlying problem here is the expectation that you're going to be happy for the rest of your life from the get go, whereas first of all you're going to have to work for that happiness, and second of all happiness is also a modernist scam to begin with, while people in the past would pursue satisfaction instead of feeling the childish giddy emotions of a 3 year old whole day. Growing up and maturing aren't parts of modern society anymore of course by default.
To conclude, a therapist won't tell you anything you don't already know. Go get some hobbies, meet some people, go to the gym, and while these are good suggestions, will they fix the underlying spiritual problem? In my experience it's temporary as I did it too in the past. Talking helps though for sure and it's a caveat for men to not talk about their problems. So if that may help you and you don't have anyone to talk to it can be beneficial to you for just that reason, otherwise you could try to talk to people who are close to you and you'll see that in many cases people will report the same issues you face in life back to you.
