What Can Cause Depression?

Genetic Factors

Genetic Predisposition: Individuals with a family history of depression may have a higher risk of developing the condition, suggesting a genetic predisposition to depression.

Medical Conditions

Underlying Medical Issues: Certain medical conditions, such as chronic pain, hormonal imbalances, or neurological disorders, can cause or be associated with an increased risk of depression.

Enviromental Factors

Stress and Trauma: Stressful life events, trauma, chronic illness, or significant loss can contribute to the onset of depression. Adverse childhood experiences and ongoing stressors in adulthood may increase vulnerability for depression.

Biological Factors

Neurotransmitter Imbalance: Imbalances in certain neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, can play a role in the development of depression. 

Inflammation: elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α) are sometimes associated with depression. These cytokines can affect neuroplasticity.

Depression vs. Sadness

It’s normal to feel sad or down occasionally, especially after life events like losing a loved one or facing setbacks. This type of sadness usually fades over time. However, depression is more than just temporary sadness. It is a persistent mental health condition that impacts daily functioning and lasts for weeks, months, or even years.

Depression can involve constant feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can affect sleep, appetite, energy levels, and the ability to concentrate. Unlike regular sadness, depression persists and can lead to significant dysfunction with work, relationships, and daily tasks.

Seeking help from a healthcare provider is crucial as depression is a treatable condition, and many effective treatments are available to help you regain control and improve your quality of life.
