A member asked:
Does a depression cause a repression and what is the difference between both of them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Depression is a normal human emotion in response to adverse life events, such as meaningful losses. It can also be a symptom of various mental disorders when it occurs with other symptoms. Repression is the ejection from consciousness of painful or disagreeable ideas, memories, feelings, or impulses. It's a coping response that temporarily protects the psyche from distress.
