If you look at a drastic reality event, such as the loss of a close loved one, which can lead to depression, the memory grid containing that person, which was orientating one to an important aspect of their reality, is no longer valid in reality.

If you look at the symptoms of depression, the low energy and the more withdrawn orientation, sort of detaches the sensory systems from reality, preventing as much new data from entering via these systems.

Depression sort of restarts the brain in safe mode, after a system crash, detaching system devices, such as the video and audio cards, for safer restart. From safe mode the operating system and memory are checked for errors, until the brain can restart in full mode. Many of the errors, during system check, appear within the repetitive imagination of the depressed person, sort of like a recurring print out in the mind. Once one comes to terms with the needs of system check, the system restarts in full mode.

Drugs for depression can help to restart the system quickly after a fatal crash, but this may be like restarting a computer after a crash, without a system check. Not everyone wants to wait for the computer to check the hard drive for errors, before they get back onto the net. Often the system will reboot normally, with all the checks not really needed, but not in all cases.

Unfortunately for this smaller group, the data print out in the repetitive imagination, during safe mode restart, requires actions by the ego, who is often not skilled enough in brain programming to do the required tasks. If you don't push A the system hangs. Culture has added extra synthetic things to the natural memory structuring, that the brain can't fully deal with using the natural operating system. This means some manual programming could be be needed for some of the tweaks. Often professionals can help, especially those who have experience with safe mode.
