What Causes Depression?

Depression stems from a complex interaction of factors that can vary widely among individuals. Genetic predispositions, biochemical imbalances, environmental stressors, and psychological aspects all contribute to its onset. Life’s challenges, such as traumatic events, prolonged stress, or medical conditions, can trigger or exacerbate depressive episodes, making it crucial to approach treatment with a comprehensive understanding of each person’s unique situation.
