What causes depression

There is no known cause for depression, nor any decisive explanation as to why it is a gradually occurring problem in some people and a sudden illness in others. A tendency to depression can be inherited genetically. It can also be the result of traumatic past experiences, neglect or abuse, or can be triggered by an upsetting event, such as a bereavement or the end of a relationship. In general, depression is thought to be the result of negative interactions between genetics, life experience and body chemistry.

It is important to remember that anyone can get depressed, regardless of age, background, advantages or disadvantages; so sympathy is key.
