Why do people get depressed?

Depression affects people of every age, economic situation, and race. Even though depression is common especially in teens some people get depressed but others don't. Why?

For some people, a negative, stressful, or unhappy family atmosphere can lead to depression. Other high-stress living situation such as poverty, homelessness, or violence can contribute too. Dealing with bullying, harassment, or peer pressure leaves some people feeling isolated, victimized, or insecure can also lead to depression. The death of a family member, friend, or pet sometimes goes beyond normal grief and leads to depression. Other difficult life events such as when parents divorce, separate, or remarry can trigger depression.

There's no one Reason for Depression

D'Arcy Lyness, PhD (2016) Lots of things influence whether a person gets depressed. Some of it is biology things like our genes, brain chemistry, and hormones. Some is environment, including daylight and seasons, or social and family situations we face. And some is personality, like how we react to life events or the support systems we create for ourselves. All these things can help shape whether or not a person becomes depressed.

Genes

Why genes also makes a person depressed?

Research shows that depression runs in families. Some people inherit genes that contribute to depression. But not everyone who has a family member with depression will develop it too (D'Arcy Lyness PhD, 2016).

Stress, Health, and Hormones

Why do stress, health, and hormones the main reasons of depression?

Hypothyroidism is known to cause a depressed mood in some people. Mono can drain a person's energy. When health conditions are diagnosed and treated by a doctor, the depression-like symptoms usually disappear (D'Arcy Lyness PhD, 2016). Or in case may be permanent.

Life Events

Life events might be the cause of depression. Why?

The death of a family member, friend, or pet sometimes goes beyond normal grief and leads to depression. Other difficult life events such as when parents divorce, separate, or remarry can trigger depression. Whether or not difficult life situations lead to depression can depend a lot on how well a person is able to cope, stay positive, and receive support.

Reacting to Life Situations

Life is full of ups and downs. Stress, hassles, and setbacks happen (but hopefully not too often). How we react to life's struggles matters a lot. A person's outlook can contribute to depression — or it can help guard against it.

Research shows that a positive outlook acts as a protection against depression, even for people who have the genes, brain chemistry, or life situations that put them at risk for developing it. The opposite is also true: People who tend to think more negatively may be more at risk for developing depression.

We can't control our genes, brain chemistry, or some of the other things that contribute to depression. But we do have control over how we see situations and how we cope (D'Arcy Lyness PhD, 2016) .
