Sometimes it seems that depression arises from inconsistencies between our lives and our mental image of ourselves and our lives.

As children we view the world and don't understand it fully with our immature brain and develop habits and unconscious patterns of thought and behavior, based upon these faulty childhood impressions. At some point, this develops into sufficient difficulties resulting in anxiety and depression.

Stoicism, Buddhism, and Daoism all provides tools to help deal with these issues.
