Hello, OP. I would say that depression can occur in people for a variety of factors that affects everyone differently. The first and foremost thing that I believe causes depression in most people is through biological reasons. For example, I believe a severe lack of Sunlight exposure causes a lot of depressive symptoms in ppl or may worsen the symptoms to begin with.
So I always highly recommend everybody who is suffering from depression to get plenty of Sunlight for both body and soul, it's helped me with my depression and humans have evolved through hundreds of thousands of years with plenty of Sun exposure in mind, so it really is important, and it's free Vitamin D!
But after biological reasons for depression comes the mental part. This usually stems from a mindset and worldview on life after traumatic events occur that effected ppl on a mental level. This one usually requires therapy, a change in lifestyle, maybe relying on friends and family for support, spiritual guidance, and so on and so forth to help fix this depression.
However, I believe depression should be targeted through biological means first because it's difficult to tackle depression head on if your energy needs are not satisfied first. Then you target your mindset as well. Anyways, I hope this helped OP, remember to always have hope in yourself and you will overcome your depression no matter how difficult things get, things will get better, that's a promise I can make for sure. Good luck, please take care, and godspeed, anon.
