yes-butno:

Explanation: When you tell someone you’re depressed, you might get a lot of, “Oh but aren’t you grateful for what you have? There are so many people out there who have it worse than you…” etc. etc. Being depressed doesn’t necessarily have to do with thinking that you have nothing positive in your life. Depression doesn’t always come from a constant mindset (like always thinking about the negative things in your life), but it sometimes just comes along unexpectedly. There are also numerous other things that can cause depression— it is hereditary, and can also be caused by past events, etc.
I know this probably isn’t the best description, but I hope you get what I’m trying to say :)
