When we are depressed we can fall into a nihilistic philosophy. Existential nihilism is the philosophical belief that life has no meaning or purpose, and therefor there is no reason to enjoy life, take action, love, etc. When we are depressed we can also start to believe that this philosophy makes sense, and therefore there is no reason to "cure" our depression, because we see the problem as external rather than internal. I argue that in reality we become nihilistic BECAUSE we are depressed, and the lack of positive feeling is influencing our belief about the world and our life.
