I was under the impression you didn't believe in the existence of the soul.

it also dies when you die.

no soul involved,.

some people are depressed because of their worldview, or their unreal expectations of life, or because of bad choices, or other such things. that is the mind. some people are depressed because their brain does not produce the right chemicals or produces too many other chemicals, and therefore creates an imabalnce, that the mind then experiences as depression.

two different things
one is treatable by therapy
the other by medication
