The Causes of Depression

See also...

Depression is often caused by a combination of things, and you may not even be consciously aware of why Depression has struck.

Some of the most common contributing factors to Depression are:

  • Anxiety and Stress - Any of the things that might cause Anxiety in a person could go on to cause depression, for example, bereavement, divorce, career change or marriage.
  • Low self-esteem - Someone with a low self-esteem is more likely to develop depression due to their pessimistic outlook on life.
  • Illness - Physical illness and medical conditions can contribute to Depression, not only due to their psychological ramifications (stress), but also because of the persons weakening health and reduced ability to cope.
  • Genetics - A person can inherit a predisposition to Depression from the parents.  This does not mean that they will get depression, it simply means that they are more likely to develop Depression than 'average'.
