What causes depression?

The roots of depression are complex. It is often a combination of problems and stresses in life, along with particular traits in an individual’s personality (for example a tendency to be overly self-critical). Traumas and life changes can be contributing factors – a marital breakdown or a difficult boss for example. At times loss can trigger Depression; loss of a child, spouse, or a role in life perhaps. Sometimes a genetic predisposition is also responsible for depression.
