Lesson Overview

14.13 – The Role of Stress in Depression: Ongoing stress can drain the brain’s energy and chemistry in ways that lead to low mood and hopelessness. When cortisol levels stay high for too long, they can interfere with serotonin, the brain’s “feel-good” chemical. This makes it harder to experience joy, focus, or motivation. Over time, stress can make you feel disconnected or tired even from things you used to enjoy. It can also create negative thought patterns that repeat endlessly. Understanding this connection shows that depression isn’t a weakness—it’s a biological and emotional response to overload. Restoring balance means calming the nervous system and rebuilding small sources of pleasure. Gentle routines, social support, and mindful breaks can help lift energy bit by bit. Healing from stress-driven depression takes patience but always remains possible. The more you care for your stress levels, the more space your mind has to rediscover hope.
