Depression Causes
What Causes Depression
Clinical depression is caused by a variety of reasons. Some people suffer from depression based on a traumatic life event: a death in the family, a move, or a serious illness. But some people have a family history of depression, and they suffer from symptoms of depression for a lifetime, for no other reason than a chemical imbalance or a glass-half-empty personal disposition.
Besides genetics, there are other risk factors for long- or short-term clinical depression. They include:
- Physical or psychological abuse
- Death
- Major life events such as a job loss
- Substance abuse
- Prescribed or over-the-counter medications (should be abuse or dependence?)
- Conflicts with family, friends, or co-workers
