You could have depression, have premenstrual syndrome or be in menopause.

Aside from the above possible causes, "sadness" and "happiness" are primarily regulated by a brain chemical called serotonin. The brain continuously produces and reabsorbs this chemical to create a state of equilibrium in the individual - not too happy, not too sad. When you are very excited - for instance, during sexual activity or skydiving - the reuptake of the chemical is partially blocked creating a temporary saturation of serotonin accompanied by extreme elation. This can often be followed by temporary sadness or depression as the brain overreacts to this "too happy" situation and begans to reabsorb the chemical too quickly, leaving a deficiency. You can think of it as a bit of a rollercoaster ride where you go too far up and then too far down, and eventually level out.

Many street drugs, such as marijuana and cocaine, cause this same effect in exactly the same way - they simply block the normal reuptake of serotonin until they wear off and then you crash to a partly depressed state. This means you will simply smoke or snort more to get back to where you were, and each time the brain's reaction gets stronger.

Lots of prescription drugs can cause similar problems as can everyday substances such as caffeine and sugar

Check the prescriptions you are taking, get off street drugs if you are on them, and check your diet for stimulants you probably don't need.

Above all, if you are very concerned, speak to a medical professional.

i too am going through this. i am 14. last year in 8th grade, it happened in patches. 1 week i would have suicidal thoughts, and i would lock myself in my room and just want to be alone. the thing is i didnt know why. the next week i would be fine. it would happen again about 2-3 weeks later. it happened for the rest of the year. im now in 9th grade and its the 2nd semester and its happening again. i have great friends, a boyfriend, and my life isn't bad but sometimesi just feel horrible. when i was little, i was abused. mentally, physically, and emotionally. my abuser has hurt the whole side of my moms family including me. she is a horrible person. i have a lot lof hate, and anger built inside of me. maybe you do too. if you've been abused maybe that's the problem. ive learned to accept the fact that i have been hurt. maybe you should too. i hope that you can figure out the problem and fix it. good luck.

Usually, depression develops with no reason. at least it is not realized by the person, because it may be hidden in his subcouncious. Its a matter that a psychologist can treat if diagnosed on its beggining. When it lasts long, only a psychiatrist can prescribe an specific medicine, taking on account, gender, age and health status.

Chemical imbalance is one component. sleep deprivation can lead to depression. Spending too much time in a particular activity can also cause depression.

Should someone tell someone that they have no reason to be depressed?

Someone should not tell someone that they have no reason to be depressed if that person is truly suffering from depression. Depression is a debilitating mental illness and often has no apparent cause. People who are depressed often don't have a reason and wouldn't be able to pinpoint one when asked either. Statements like these from a loved one could potentially worsen the depression.

Is Cloud Strife emo?

Cloud is in no way what you would call emo. If you ever played the game you would know this. Cloud is depressed in Advent Children for a bit but for a good reason. Give the guy a break, he's human like the rest of us. Everyone's been depressed about something in their life that doesn't automatically make them emo, seeing a good friend die in front of you and not being able to do anything about it is a good reason to be depressed.
