自卑的人容易患抑郁症吗?

According to Dr Lars Madsen, Australian clinical psychologist and self-esteem specialist, the reality often is that self-esteem is a key factor in both the development and maintenance of depression. A person with low self-esteem takes things personally, and in a negative way.

澳大利亚临床心理学和自信心研究专家Lars Madsen 博士表示，自信心是抑郁发展和持续的主要原因。自卑的人往往会以消极的方式看待事物。

People with low self-esteem try not to disprove but to verify their negative self-concept by seeking negative feedback from the people in their network. They think about their inadequacies, focus on the negative feedback they receive from others, ponder that feedback, and as a result become more depressed. Their negative mood also leads them to be perceived more negatively by others, which leads them to feel hurt and rejected.

自卑的人往往不善于反驳，他们把别人对自己的负面评价进行消极的自我评估。他们思考自己的不足，只在意思考别人的负面评价。如此一来，别人也会感到他们很消极，他们自己则会感到受伤和被排斥。

Madsen also confirms the rarity of studies on self-esteem and depression that allow for any causal arguments to be made. However, the comprehensive study noted above concluded that the best way to protect your positive mood is to find ways to boost your self-esteem.
