Why do psychatrists assume someone has a mental problem if they are depressed?
Psychiatrists don't make assumptions when it comes to a diagnosis, at least not reputable psychiatrists. If a person has a severe or ongoing depression, they do have a problem. The label 'mental problem' is not a medical term. Clinical depression and other mental illnesses are caused by chemistry of the brain. Depression is no more a 'mental problem' than is type 1 diabetes, it's a dysfunction. Most people have depression occasionally, but when depression is chronic or constant, it affects the individuals function, behavior, and emotions. Clinical depression causes a great deal of worry and fear for the people close to the person. Clinical depression is life threatening and should not be taken lightly or ignored.
