According to Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic perspective, depression is a conflict between the ego (the conscious self) and the superego (an inner voice, something like the internalized parent). In depression, the superego punishes the ego for having forbidden wishes or for not living up to the superego's expectations (usually similar to those of one's actual parents). The result of that conflict is guilt, self-hate, and anger turned inward; these processes in turn lead to depression.
