Depression Q & A

What causes depression?

Depression may occur from many causes. Sometimes, the underlying cause is unknown, but it often develops from a combination of biological, environmental, and psychological factors.

Biological causes

The mood changes that occur with depression are brought about by changes in brain chemistry, affecting the neurotransmitters that manage mood. Genetics may play a role in the alterations in brain chemistry.

Environmental causes

Lack of social support or personal stressors may trigger negative thoughts that affect how you feel and behave. For example, feeling overwhelmed by your personal and professional responsibilities or loss of a job.

Psychological causes

Trauma and stress are psychological causes of depression.

Because depression may occur from a multitude of causes, no one treatment benefits everyone struggling with this mood disorder.
