What Causes Depression?

Updated: Sep 22

Depression is a complex mental health condition that can be triggered by a variety of factors, often a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological influences. Here are some common causes:


Genetics: A family history of depression can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.


Chemical Imbalances: Imbalances in brain chemicals, particularly neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, can contribute to depression.


Life Events: Traumatic events such as the loss of a loved one, divorce, financial difficulties, or chronic stress can trigger depression.


Medical Conditions: Chronic illnesses, hormonal changes, and certain medications can lead to or exacerbate depression.


Personality: People with certain personality traits, such as low self-esteem or a pessimistic outlook, may be more prone to depression.


• Substance Abuse: Alcohol and drug use can contribute to the development of depression, creating a cycle that’s hard to break.


Symptoms and Signs of Depression

Depression affects each person differently, but common signs and symptoms include:


Persistent Sadness: Feeling overwhelmingly sad, empty, or hopeless for an extended period.


Loss of Interest: A lack of interest or pleasure in activities you once enjoyed, including hobbies, social interactions, and work.


Fatigue: Persistent tiredness or lack of energy, even after adequate rest.


Sleep Problems: Difficulty sleeping (insomnia) or oversleeping (hypersomnia).


Changes in Appetite: Significant weight loss or gain due to changes in eating habits.


Concentration Issues: Difficulty focusing, making decisions, or remembering things.


Irritability: Increased irritability or frustration, even over small matters.


Physical Symptoms: Unexplained aches, pains, or digestive issues that don’t improve with treatment.
