| Depression
is caused by a combination of genetic (inherited), psychological
and environmental factors. Depression, especially bipolar
disorder, has been shown to run in families. Additionally,
having too little or too much of certain neurochemicals
in the brain have shown to be the cause of depression. The
psychological makeup of a person, such as low self-esteem,
pessimism and stress, can also cause depression. Environmental
or other associated health factors, such as a serious loss,
chronic illness, pregnancy, childbirth, difficult relationships,
financial problems, unwelcome changes in life patterns,
alcohol, drug abuse and medications can also trigger a depressive
episode.
About 10 to 15 percent of all depression is caused by
medical illness or medicine. Once these conditions are
treated or the medication stopped or changed, the depression
will usually go away.
