Scarcity thoughts, as they relate to depression, are persistent patterns of thinking that revolve around feelings of lack, limitation, and inadequacy. People experiencing depression often perceive their lives through a lens of scarcity, where they believe that there is not enough of what they need or desire. These thoughts can manifest in various ways, and can further contribute to feelings of depression by reinforcing negative beliefs, reducing motivation, and increasing the sense of being trapped in a difficult situation.

Challenging these thoughts and reframing them with more realistic and compassionate perspectives can help combat depression and foster a sense of hope and well-being..
