Knowing about the causes and risk factors for depression can help you understand why depression occurs and how to deal with it. It’s important to emphasise that depression is not a sign of personal weakness, failure, or ‘all in the mind’.

Sometimes, doctors talk about biological causes - genetics, brain chemistry and personality. Or they might talk about life events, such as the loss of a loved one, long term stresses, and abuse.
