One issue that hasnt been addressed yet is that thc, pot, other halucinegens can cause a depletion of important brain chemicals, leading to depression. Alcohol is also a MAJOR depressant!!!!! Sad but true! The other part would be to give yourself a life stress test! You say you are in the process of ending a life relationship with your wife, have some financial concerns- well those two things alone can put you at the top of a life stress test and lead to depression. So, IMHO, your level of stress might make you suseptable to depression-but only you can add up all the factors and decide. Make sure you are taking a multi-vitamin and get fresh air and exercise. Some kinds of vitamin deficiencies can cause depression. Anti depressants can help people break the cycle, and can help your brain chemicals come back to normal. They have literaly saved lives. This does not mean they need to be taken for life-some people just take them for 6 months or so, and then go on with their lives in a healthy way. Best of luck and life to you....
