Causes of Depression
The causes of depression are varied and may include a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors:
- Genetics: A family history of depression may increase the risk.
- Biologics: Changes in brain chemistry and hormonal imbalances
- Environmental: Stressful life events such as the loss of a loved one, financial or relationship problems
- Psychological: Self-esteem issues, emotional abuse, or past trauma.
Symptoms of Depression
The symptoms of depression can vary from person to person, but they usually include:
- Emotional: Persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or “emptiness.”
- Cognitive: Trouble focusing, making decisions, or remembering details
- Physicists: Fatigue, changes in appetite, insomnia, or excessive sleep
- Behavioral: Loss of interest in activities you previously enjoyed, social isolation.
- Severe: Thoughts of death or suicide.
