This is a good question!!!

Depression is known as a mental health disorder caused by persistent depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 7.6 percent of people over the age of 12 (twelve) have depression in any two (2) week period.
Let me share with you some causes of depression:
(1) Stressful Life Events can cause depression: Sometimes, stressful life events, may overwhelm a person's ability to cope, and this may be the cause of depression in one's life.
(2) Grief and Loss: Depression can also come through the loss of a loved one, and individuals experience many of the same symptoms of depression. Grief make one be depressed.
Grief is a common response to loss. Losses that may lead to grief include the death or separation of a loved one, loss of a job, or loss of a beloved pet, or any number of other changes in life, such as divorce or retirement. Anyone can experience grief and loss, but not everyone will experience depression.
(3) Brain Chemistry Imbalance: Scientifically, depression is known to be caused by an imbalance in the neurotransmitters which are involved in mood regulation.
Neurotransmitters are chemical substances which help different areas of the brain in communicating with each other. If certain neurotransmitters are in short supply, this may cause the symptoms we recognize as clinical depression.
(4) Physical Health Problems: As we all knew that the mind and the body are clearly linked together. If you are experiencing a physical health issue, you may discover changes in your mental health as well.
(5) Conflict: Depression may also result from personal conflicts or disputes with friends or family members.
(6) Abuse: Sexual, past physical or emotional abuse can cause depression in life. Anyone who experience one of those mentioned above may be the cause of depression
(7) Sadness, feeling down, having a loss of pleasure in daily activities - these are symptoms which most times we are familiar with. But, if they are persistent it can affect our life substantially, and this may lead to depression.
I hope this helps???
Cheers!!!
