Overview

Though everyone has been depressed at some point, not everyone has gone through depression. The likelihood is that you have no idea what it's like to deal with this complicated mental illness if you have never experienced depression.

Depression sneaks up on you. It impacts not just your emotional state but also your mental, emotional, and physical capacities. It numbs pleasure, cuts off communication, stifles innovation, and, in the worst-case scenario, kills hope. In addition, it frequently results in severe emotional suffering for the affected individual as well as for their close friends and family.

Causes

Every individual suffering from depression is distinct, and each person's circumstances are diverse as well. Typically, several things will work together to influence your mood. Even if the cause of sadness is frequently unknown, knowing the situation around it can occasionally help you figure out the best way to handle it. 

Events in life that are linked to depression include

• Prolonged joblessness being in a controlling or heartless relationship 

• Prolonged seclusion or loneliness 

• Ongoing stress at the job 

• Family background 

• Perfectionism 

• Low self-esteem

• Inclination to worry 

• Drug and alcohol usage are examples of personality qualities that can make you more susceptible to depression.
