Is feeling depressed a character flaw?
user
No, feeling depressed can happen for all sorts of reasons and is usually pretty understandable and treatable.  Are you concerned that you’re depressed?
assistant
No I am concerned for a friend. I don't know why she is always depressed.

Gee, I’m sorry you’re concerned about a friend.  Depression is a common mental health issue, and usually caused by a combination of brain chemistry and life circumstances.  It’s not uncommon for depression to be a kind of chronic condition, with periodic (and sometimes severe) episodes that last for months, years or a lifetime.  There are some factors that can make you more likely to get depressed: stress, a history of being depressed, and genetics.

It might help to talk to her about how she’s feeling, or getting treatment for depression.  Would that be helpful?
