Depression can be caused by a variety of events and even runs in families. Depression also does not discriminate. Men, women, young, old, it doesn’t matter. Sadly, there is no one specific reason that people develop depressive feelings. Sometimes it can be obvious, like losing a job or a loved one, and other times it can come from a variety of factors like going through a breakup, being stressed about school, arguing with a loved one, and dealing with the changing seasons.
