Depression can be caused from a death, illnes, relationships, financial problems, or a major change in life that is unexpected. Your living enviroment and how you live can cause you to become in a depressive stage. Women are twice as much as men to become depressd. A woman that is pregnant and is stressing during her pregnancy can increase her baby to be depressive when the child is an adult
(Panzarino).


There isn't just one single cause for depression. Depression may either be genetic, biochemical, enviromental, and psychological facors. In found research, this illness is a disorder of the brain. In MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) test, people that are diagnosed with depression have brain scans different from people who are not depressed. The brain is esponsibe for moods, the way you think, when your sleeping, your appetite and your behavior. Neurotransmitter, which chemicals that the brain cells use to communicate, appear to be out of balance. Images found can not reveal why depression is caused.
Different types of depression can run in families that have had a history of depression. It also can happen to people without family history of depression. Researchers have indicated that depression
