There has been a lot of research on causes of depression. Causes and effects of depression vary from person to person. Sometimes it is easy to find the actual cause, but sometimes it gets hard to assess what has caused depression in a person.
Facing depression can be a disturbing experience, but it should
not be, if you take corrective measures at the right time. Depression may happen
soon after an event (mostly a memorable one), but it can also be the outcome of
past or grief. Genetic factors should be taken into account while treating a
depression patient. Specialists find it rather a combination of factors:
biological, social and psychological factors.
Biological factors
Your mood is determined by a variety of processes in your
body and by substances such as hormones and neurotransmitters. The latter
provides the electrical impulses between the brain cells. Serotonin and
norepinephrine are two neurotransmitters associated with depression. Deficiency
of one or both of these substances plays a big role in causing depression. Many
diseases can alter your mood and cause depression.
Social factors
Dreadful or miserable events are the chief social factors. Moreover,
negative response form others may also play a big role in causing depression in
person. Isolation, bad treatment at home, bullying, unemployment can leave a devastating
impact on any stable-minded person. Work load at workplace usually leaves a
person in a tight spot, plus pressure from higher-ups stifles happiness, growth and
willingness to work.
