WHY did RILEY Fall into DEPRESSION in INSIDE OUT...

- Why did Riley fall into depression in Inside Out? It's something that's been on my mind lately. When you really think about it, it seems a bit strange considering how the Emotions are set up. The film establishes that an emotion must be present for it to be felt and influence Riley's actions, right? We see this with Joy making Riley happy and Sadness making her cry. So, if the Emotions disappear, Riley should stop feeling them. When Joy is lost, Riley can't feel happiness, which makes sense. But without Sadness, shouldn't Riley have experienced an extreme of another emotion? Fear is next in line, so perhaps Riley should have been in a state of panic, experiencing anxiety attacks and developing phobias. Anger is also a strong contender, potentially turning Riley into a misanthrope, hating the world and everyone in it. Alternatively, Disgust could have taken over, making Riley and obsessed with herself. So, why did Riley go into depression instead?

I dont think depression is particularly an emotion, more of a deep seated feeling that even if you’re happy, sad, angry, disgusted or scared, there’s always going to be an underlying tone of something never feeling right or okay
Interesting point
As a man who was depressed I can confirm this is basically what it feels like. It is overwhelming sadness it is it's own thing entirely.
@@TheCorruptReaperSame, it’s a perfect description. I felt happiness and all but it never felt fully genuine
This is the best way u cld have described what it feels like. TY
That would be having high functioning depression where you can still feel emotions and still live your day to day life
because depression is the absence of emotion hence the line “guys we can’t make riley feel anything.” fear and anger are also common symptoms, but apathy is the main thing
I wouldn't say absence rather being disconnected(?) like the emotions are still there but you can't actually expirience them
I mean you are RIGHT it's more how I'd describe my depressive episodes and kinda how it's depicted in the movie
@@MM4TuTthere is no such thing as sort episodes of depression since it's a mental disorder what your feeling is loneliness
@@Bruno-le4lo It's called recurrent depressive disorder
And I am diagnosed with it
I have chronic depressive episodes wich cut me off from my emotions
@@Bruno-le4lo..yes there is, they're just 2 separate disorders..
How did sadness fix everything?
Depression isn't just feeling sadness it's being void of emotions.
Riley wasn't sad when Joy and Sadness were gone. She was numb... Fear, Anger, and Disgust tried not to use the console to prevent any more issues like what happened during the dinner table.
That's why she came home when Sadness came back. She felt sad about leaving.
Exactly what depression is, the feeling of feeling nothing/loss of emotions
They're focusing more on the numbness and emptiness you feel when you have
depression. It's not always just being sad.
To anyone struggling, feel free to vent
i just can't do it anymore
@@JaneluvyduvyI hope your ok
Depression is something that just…takes hold and becomes a part of you that is impossible to shake off..
@@Janeluvyduvyif you can't do it there's people who can help you do it but importantly a GOD who loves you and he can carry all your burdens❤

Depression isn’t sadness… it’s emptiness. Makes sense because the other emotions didn’t really take charge permanently
Ah
Yep
Disgust, anger and fear aren’t enough…
That could make for a very dark movie if depression and emptiness shows up.
Sadness arrived to provoke the outburst Riley needed to snap out of the downspiral of depression. She got listened to, and that helps more than one may think.
She was trapped behind a forced smile, not getting listened while she needed to, which is why Anger took over when she fled her new home.
She was overly upset for the efforts she puts in not being a weight for her parents, and swallowing her pain back down each time she needed to be heard.
That's enough to fall in depression.
Depression manifests as a lack of emotion. People often describe being depressed as a kind of sadness, but that's not quite right. It's often a feeling of flatness, as though nothing really matters. Sometimes certain emotions break through, such as fear, anger or anxiety, but for the most part it is a lack of feeling rather than a feeling of its own.
Depression isn't a emotion, but rather the absence of emotion.
She wasn’t feeling sadness dude, she was only feeling fear, anger and disgust
As someone who has been dealing with depression for years now, it's not exactly about being sad. Feeling anger, disgust (especially when it comes to your self esteem) and fear/panic attack is as big part if not bigger than just sadness. And believe me, feeling empty is the most common feeling among them all
Same here
I didn't finish this, but I'm going to talk anyway. Depression isn't sadness, I'm tired of people thinking that depression just means you are sad. If you feel depressed, not actually dealing with depression, but just a moment of being depressed, yes that is typically deep sadness. Actual depression though, is essentially emptiness or numbness it's why only sadness could get her out of it. Riley needed to deal with what was happening, and she had to grieve the loss of her old life. Joy spent the whole film trying to keep her upbeat, instead of letting her take the time that she needed to let everything move through her.
Couldn't have said it better myself
The only way to get out of the prison of depression is to be open and feel sadness
@@sugar1rushedYTno such cure other then "getting over it" because that's all you can do it's a mental disorder that's the lack of emotions when you experience a life event and you can't change that other then moving on
Depression is sadness, deal with it
@@Momo-zs9nk It isn't though
As someone with depression its when you feel empty inside its not an emotion because when sadness and joy are lost you cant feel ok you just end up depressed if that makes sense
Joy and sadness disappear, anger, fear, and disgust take over, but they can’t do anything eventually because Riley shuts off. There is nothing they can do without emotions, depression is an emptiness and lack of emotion. A limp body with a brain that can do no more than what is necessary. Sadness is needed for proper health, which is what’s proven in the movie.
A common misconception about depression is that it’s sadness, but depression is the void of the possibility of being sad or happy, without joy or sadness none of the others could permanently take charge
My opinion: Riley is a child who was overwhelmed with changes. She experienced a lot of intense emotions in a short space of time. It’s not necessarily depression. Children don’t know how to appropriately direct these emotions and that came out in the choices she made. We choose fight, flight, freeze, flop, friend… Riley felt trauma and went through a few of these trauma responses.
She's also probably autistic
I was a depressed kid before and throughout Covid so the only people to let emotions out on was my family. During Covid I also got addicted to gaming and now I yell and swear too much when I play competitive video games :|
I don't know I always thought she went numb instead of being depressed, which sounds like the same but being sad and feeling nothing isn't the same thing ig
Like Apathy
@@marcusmckanbackman exactly

Well, depression is just an emptiness, so she does just feel empty
Thats so stupid since depression aint just feeling sad either
I like the theory that as people grow older, the base emotions get a bit more complex. Sadness turns into ones like empathy and calm (like how Riley's mom has Sadness as the main control, but shes not sad all the time, and her father is mainly controlled by Anger, so it can be seen as authority and idk i guess pride?)
Mostly because depression isn’t just “sadness”. The absence of Joy lead to a feeling of hopelessness and worthlessness.
This is basic mental health understanding
I think it was more the phase of no emotion, wich suits to depression, yes, but it can appear too if you‘re so stressed ocer a time, that you fall into it. That‘s something I experience often…
When the three other emotions were in charge they jammed the emotion machine so she became unable feel anything. It wasn’t till sadness came back that she unjammed it and was able to cry.
Crying is the true emotional medicine
the control panel turned grey which means gloom took over
I’ll be honest, my dominant emotion is fear
That's what I thought too 🥲
It wasn’t depression. She went from being sad to being mad, scared, and disgusted.
She wasn’t disgusted or mad
I've had deppression seasons, so I can confirm, when I feel depressed, I feel hard to feel enjoyment of life. It's like empty bag, then it's important to feel sad when I want to change. After crying, it feels easier to start all over step by step.
Depression is emptiness of life where I feel numb and I'll just like to stay in bed and begging for help with that small power I have left.
Some people understands it and helps me gently to return on my feet by motivating and balancing to taking my own pace, but sadly some people doesn't understand me. They get all mad and tells me I'm just overdramatic which drains my willpower into the void. The harder people get, the harder it is to get back to life.
I respect kindness and tender helpful persons while I feel bad, the people who reaches their paw to help back up.
The people who don’t understand, are often obnoxious and entitled. Just because they have felt sadness and it’s easy for them to be cheered up that doesn’t mean that people with a genuine mental illness can just “be happy again”
This question is definitely making me want to go see “Inside Out 2” in theaters once it comes out, and I still want to try to catch up with the first one before seeing the sequel.
I don’t show excitement with my face or body language but I do get excited
It’s pretty clear it’s because her entire central identity is ripped away. That would induce a depressive state within anyone.
From someone who has struggled with depression since I was really young and have been in therapy since I was seven depression isn't just sadness it's almost an empty feeling that nothing can fill. All the other emotions come secondary and it seems like no matter what you do you can never stay happy. You feel cold and lifeless while at the same time you feel as though Nothing in life is worth living.
She literally got sad at the end of the movie.
Depression is the lack of joy and sadness, so she was only able to feel other emotions besides those two
Most of the time when I feel depressed I’m not actually sad. It’s a feeling like there is nothing there. I feel empty.
That’s why Inside out was a great movie. It’s actually the way I felt and still feel sometimes. Absolutely nothing.
Without joy you can’t feel happiness but without sadness you can’t process why you can’t feel joy. Losing both leads to the emotional emptiness of depression.
When someone is depressed or are experiencing something traumatic they can sometimes enter a state of feeling less
As someone who has depression i can say its often a lack of sadness or happiness. In my depresive states i still experience anger, fear and disgust in situations that trigger them but otherwise theres just emptiness.
Without you riley can’t be happy
Depression feels like the absence of emotions and energy. The movie was a perfect representative of depression, because even though Riley still had anger, discussed, and fear they weren’t really doing anything to help.
She became depressed when her islands fell down and when the emotions couldn’t control the panel and when it turned dark so depression is not an emotion it’s a mental illness
Some depressions can be just feeling numb, no emotion, not always sadness
Depression isn’t always the presents of sadness it’s often the absence of emotion.
Depression is often described as a state feeling nothing
I represented that form of depression as numbness because that’s how I felt after my grandfather died
The way I kind of understood it was that because joy and sadness were gone, which were two key emotions. The other emotions were just getting so extreme and so unchecked that it caused her to get overwhelmed with her emotions, which caused her to become depressed due to her not wanting to feel those extreme emotions anymore and having her lose feeling of her emotions. There are many ways that someone can become depressed.
I realized not long after seeing this movie that Riley was going through both puberty and a big move at the same time. those are two rather traumatic events for kids.
As someone’s who’s been diagnosed with depression for several years: Depression is a mental illness, that isn’t mainly about being sad. When I have my depressive episodes for example, I get super irritated, I hate myself and everyone around. I can’t go out anymore because I’m scared of everyone around me as well. Plus mostly I don’t even feel sad in my depressive episodes, it’s more anxiety mixed with tiredness and feeling empty. So what Riley is going through is pretty accurate when it comes to depression (at least for me, every depression/ mental illness is different for everyone)
As someone who's been struggling with depression for quite some time, depression isn't a feeling, but rather a certain absence of emotional sense. At times it feels empty, other times it feels ambiguous of emotion and it makes sense that she did because at some point her brain was working but her emotions weren't
Tell me you’ve never experienced depression without telling me you’ve never experienced depression.
Depression feels like a lack of feeling properly in the mind. And it makes you think you aren’t good enough. It’s not an intensified sadness. It’s an emptiness
(I’m speaking from personal experiences, and this is just what it felt like for me when I went through it)
Depression is a lack of energy, and lack of being able to feel, sometimes it's more than one emotion working at the same time, like sadness, anger, and fear. In some cases, like I've had many times, the emotions aren't necessarily 100% vacant or gone, they're more just suppressed very deeply.
The reason is that the other emotions refused to take control, they KNEW they weren't the right ones to do it so they stayed back trying to wait for the others. But then got so desperate to get at least happiness back they they decided to go with the running away plan.
Sometimes depression is "not being able to feel anything". Being depressed is so much more than just being sad or not being happy. It actually makes a lot of sense because moving away is a very common theme of depression. it's a big change and can make a lot of people lose the old sense of happiness or sadness thus can lead to depression.
I hate depression. Last school year i was being bullied, and now i told my parents that i want to move to another school, but now, i make new 4 friends at school, by the way, i love Riley in inside out, she’s my favorite person ❤❤
depression i would say isnt an emotion, its more of a state of being. depression is a mix of anger, confusion, anxiety, sadness and many other things. i should know, im going through some hard times myself 😊
I'm 11 like her
But i'm 10p times happier and thankfull for life
It can be depressing when you can't feel a certain emotion , which includes sadness
Every case with depression is different, in some its like a parasite or an infection. You dont really notice it and as time goes on, it slowly starts taking over until it has full control over everything while you are in the backseat unable to do anything. Even though you feel like you are piloting, you're just another passanger
Depression is kinda a mix of a lot of emotions like fear anger and sadness but mostly just the feeling of being empty or useless
Depression can be absence of emotion you can have tiny happy moments or sad moments or other emotions but in the general picture you lack emotions which fits really well in my opinion
As someone who has depression I don't necessarily feel sad all the time at all, the only time I show and emotion that could appear as sadness is during a panic attack, the feeling that I mostly experience is numbness, I just feel nothing, no emotions just numb
One of the symptoms of depression is apathy (lack of emotions ane even pain). Being sad is not being depressed. Actually being sad is good, since sadness can help you name the issue that's making you sad. Depression many times come from "nowhere" and if you ask someone who has depression why they have depression, a lot of times they'll say "idk"
Some of the time someone who is depressed is just numb
Depression is not just sadness, it can often be not feeling anything
Depression is is a feeling that you get it's like you feel empty and Hollow it is the absence of emotions
Because she had no joy, i do agree that shouldn’t mean other emotions couldn’t be felt
Take away sadness and happy your left with depression because your max at yourself for past actions and disgusted with who you are, and fear full for the future which makes you cry from fear as a coping of not having happy or sad so you feel empty and it leaves no want to improve or feel anything and that can make people cry subconsciously.
I experience depression as less of a lack of happiness but more as a lack of ability to experience emotions at all
I think the influence of disgust was strongest there
Some people see depression as extreme sadness and that is a very common case but for some people myself included depression can feel like a lack of emotion leading to a dark place where you feel not human
Felt numb cause no emotions new what to do so she had no emotions until joy and sadness returned
When you fear the world hate everything and everyone in it and obsessively pick a part everything and everyone mistakes(discust) then you don’t see anything positive in the world. You don’t have to be sad to be depressed, but the lack of happiness can cause depression to form.
As someone with depression: emptiness. Depression causes extreme emptiness. It's not sadness, but it's just painful as hell, making you lose the will to live.
Depression is all the emotions that were left and numbness all at the same time. You’re scared of yourself and what you’re capable of doing and thinking when you’re down, you’re angry that you can’t feel happy cause a lot of times there’s not a reason (if it’s clinical), and you’re disgusted with yourself because you don’t have the energy to do anything but lay down. If you force yourself to do things, there’s no emotion behind it. My husband can always tell when I’m depressed (a lot of times before even I do cause it’s just something I deal with every now and then) because when I laugh my “eyes don’t laugh with me”.
At least in my case, depression is that you become numb to feel anything. Neither joy or sadness
Depression is an empty feeling, like a dried ocean bed.
People have happiness, sadness, anger, discussed, and fear everyone has theses,but not everyone has phobias not everyone is narcissistic or misanthrope.but it is true for teenagers to fall in depression because of the amount of work that put on them
Because its not an emotion on its own depression is a state of being like a total shutdown which can be caused by surprising other emotions like sadness, and can usually has a mix of fear and anxiety as well as disgust and anger then when you snap out of it that's when sadness takes over but it starts with feeling nothing then a mixture of the other emotions then nothing again then overwhelming sadness. It's an emotional roller-coaster.
Because Joy was always the one in charge as they all wanted Riley to be happy, but when she and Sadness went, she lot 2 emotions, and the others didn't know how to make her and her parents happy without Joy, so they didn't do anything, that gave her the emptiness that people with depression experience
It's because depression isn't an extreme sadness but instead the lack of any joy in one's life for prolonged periods of time
It's not about extreme emotions but the lack of emotions that makes her depressed. Sadness is not just crying or feeling sad but expressing what's inside and letting things out. In a sense, sadness actually gives peace and freedom. So with both happiness and peace gone, she experienced depression. When both joy and sadness came back, they both made calmness by mixing both happiness and peace, curing her depression.
Actually, depression is a mental illness were a subject can't feel both Sadness nor joy, which is what happens to Raley
Depression isn’t sadness it’s the absent of joy
for me depression comes after feelings. depression basically makes u numb
Depression isn't a feeling. It's an absence of feeling
Because depression isn't a form of sadness it is a complete lack of feeling its like an emptiness that eats away at everything around it which is why I like the depiction they give of her console no longer functioning and slowly darkening as if a shadow is consuming it
Anger was the reason she was leaving bc of his “idea” in inside out
Ive been depressed its not sadness its hard to explain and from what i can tell it is a little different for everyone but i more just gave up and for most of it i was just numb and couldn't really feel anything i guess the best explanation for how i felt would be i missed who i was but couldn't muster the energy to really care
“Guys, we can’t make Riley feel… anything…” for Riley a decision was made that she felt she couldn’t turn away from. No strong emotion could help
Depression is not a emotion. Its the loss of feeling emotions
That, exactly that.
depression is a whole seperate feeling from sadness. It can cause fear, anger, and sadness
Depression can make you feel emotionally numb to anything. It's not the same for everyone. And you can feel sad when depressed, but sadness isn't the cause of depression. It's caused by huge difficult things that impact our life. Like moving to a new place in a new house, trying to find a good job but failing or trying to fit into a new school. Its different for everyone, not everyone has the same kind of depression. When watching Inside Out you can see her go through a lot of emotions, especially right after the move. When things started to turn in ways she wasn't expecting too. And she starts to miss her old life, back where she use to live and she was happy there and had friends there. It's difficult to move into a new place in a new state or different country. As things started going down hill, you can see the desperation of characters of each emotions. Trying hard to help in her new life that was crumbling. Then you see all those emotions panicking over what to do without joy or sadness. Which they would have followed joys lead, but since the situation that they were in they couldn't do that. And decided that going back to her old home was a good idea. Which honestly wasn't a good idea, because it sent her into depression. Which you can see the console shutting down and the characters emotions not being able to make her feel anything. Which depression can indeed make you feel emotionally numb to anything happening around you. So when the two emotions joy and sadness finally get back. Joy has realized that when sadness touches the core memories it's not a bad thing. Because it's that bitter sweet emotion that brought Riley back and brought her home. It was important that she cried into her parents arms, which lead her to tell her parents how she was actually feeling. When you are depressed it can be very difficult to talk to someone about. But after you find someone that you can trust and help you find a therapist, then you will start to heal. And begin again in your new life, with help. Because depression doesn't always fully go away. So its good to have a good therapist and copping skills to help keep the depression in check. I hope that this helped. 😅
Depression is much more than an emotion.
It is a manifestation of pain.
It isn't just sadness.
It's deep-seated pain, feeling worthless, hating yourself, hurt, and feeling like you're a burden...
It isn't an emotion; but it can make you very emotional, if that makes sense.
Outwardly, people suffering from depression just seem sad.
But from somebody who is depressed, sadness is the least of it.
You look sad, but it's more that you just hurt so much, and suffer such inner turmoil, that you feel very little or nothing.
It's very hard to explain to people who don't experience what a depression sufferer does, but you can feel other emotions for short bursts, and then the apathy comes back and consumes everything else.
It isn't an emotion - it's a state of mind (and lack of proper chemical makeup) that cannot simply be "fixed."
It can be healed over time, but that requires a lot of work, counseling, possibly medication if it's really bad, and a fantastic support group.
If you don't have those things, it will be hard to get through it.
You cannot get over depression.
You cannot push it aside and "just be happy."
It takes time, effort, and lots of hard work to get through it.
It is a BATTLE.
But with the right kind of support can really, really help.
Depression is a lack of happiness, not being sad
When you think about it, depression is not only sadness.
Depression is, most of the time, the inability of feel right. You feel that you are not "allowed" to be happy because of yourself, but also feel like feeling sad is pointless because it won't make anything better anyway, so you basically are unable to feel anything beside what is left in Riley's brain when the two major disappear: anger, disgust and fear for everything. Until, at some point, you just go blank, like when the board goes off.
Losing joy made her feel Hollowness and that's representation is void
Sadness doesn’t make Riley depressed, it’s the lack of Sadness and Joy that does. That’s why Sadness was able to save the day at the end, because depression isn’t Sadness, it’s the lack of emotion.
depression is not an emotion but the loss of them
Girl....depression isnt just being sad...is a feeling of intense numb and emptyness
I don't think "Depression" is necessarily what happened, to me it's more of a lack of emotion. Because she did show fear, anger and disgust with her surroundings, however she never seemed sad or happy. So, I could be wrong but I don't think she has Depression, I also had Depression and there's more to it than sadness (Honestly it's more of a lack of will in life).
i think it’s hard being labeled as a “happy person.” i’m pretty sure in the movie the parents call her their “happy girl.” i was called a happy person most of my life but that didn’t stop me from having depression. emotions are more complicated than that. i’m a henuinely happy now tho.
Depression is literally like not feeling anything, it's not sad, it's just absolutely nothing
Whenever you bury emotions like sadness for 12 years like it seems like Joy did it can cause depression due to the fact that you feel the need to stay happy all the time. So when only a small thing comes up it can have dire consequences
