People get depressed when they can't get what you strongly desire.

Traditional Chinese medicine teaches that the seven emotions (joy, anger, sorrow, excessive thinking, anxiety, fear, fright) are the internal factors that can cause various diseases.

Modern Western medicine also claims that the state of excitement, arousal increase the amount of adrenaline in the blood, which affects the change of biological functions of the body.
