Depression can be related to many factors. Physical being and emotional stressors can contribute to depression, as well as genetic predisposition. Many people benefit from some type of treatment, whether it is through therapy or medication. Researchers once believed that depression was purely "mental/emotional", whereas other people have believed depression is a matter of only a "lazy will" or personality defect. But now we know that depression likely has a biological component and treatment focuses on balancing certain neuro-transmitters in the brain. The important thing to remember is that depression is not a reflection of a person's worth or value, and that it may take trial and error to find the right combination of medication/or therapy before depression begins to improve.
