He had Major Depression. So maybe something like Prozac. It sure as hell wasn’t his circumstances. Dude had a nice place, with a good support group. The only thing that probably would have helped him was drugs.
I agree he had a general depression disorder of some sort, but I dunno if he “had a nice place.” Eeyore famously lives in a tent made of sticks that constantly collapses and needs to be rebuilt. Guy was effectively homeless and lived in the Hundred-Acre Wood equivalent of a cardboard box.
But in spite of that, he definitely he lived in a nice community with good friends.
Also, being the one whose tail was “pinned on” must have given him some sense of distrust. Was his tail severed only to be temporarily attached with sharp object as a game to amuse children?
His friends certainly always try to cheer him up, and while he seems appreciative he is also super depressed still and their words of encourgement do little against his actual mental illness like they might if he was merely sad.

Constant pain from not only an amputated tail but a nail stuck into the base of his spine?
He’s a stuffed animal; he never complained about it hurting, but he did complain about losing it often.

Some existential stuff right there.
What are his social interactions like, what is his reputation besides possibly being a “downer”?
His friends certainly always try to cheer him up, and while he seems appreciative he is also super depressed still and their words of encourgement do little against his actual mental illness like they might if he was merely sad.
Does he ever show improvement or is there anything that seems to weirdly help him?
He seemed to be enjoying himself that time when he got bounced into a stream and had to float around on his back for a bit.
I don’t recall that he does; but I also haven’t watched Winnie the Pooh since I was a little kid.
