Is depression a choice?

This is the latest question asked by Mancave Bro @raymondspeaks

I personally dont think for one second that depression is a personal choice. Depression can have triggers outside of your own control, it could be abuse, neglect, loneliness or sometimes it can just sneak up on you. My story was one where depression simply snook on me. When I really analyse it, I suppose I did not see a future for myself. I could not visualize what I would become in the future. Perhaps that was my trigger. I was working a dead end job at 19, a box factory, could a box factory be the most depressing place known to man? Not according to the simpsons but for me this was dead end. I just couldn't move past the idea that I would be stuck in this dead end job from the age of 19. Instead of moving on and bringing myself into further education. Because I didn't do anything, these thoughts began to fester, they led me to spiral into depression. My depression was one that I hid, not one of my friends or family knew what I was going through in my own mind. I sat in room's full of my friends and I had never felt so alone. It is such a hard feeling to describe that place, this black dog that shadowed my every move.

What if any is your experience with depression? What was / is your trigger?
