often linked to its development. Depression  usually results from a combination of
recent events or other long term or personal factors, rather than one immediate
issue or event.

life events

in an abusive or uncaring relationship, long term isolation or loneliness, prolonged
work stress- are more likely to cause depression than recent life stresses. However ,
recent events( such as losing job) or a combination of events can  trigger depression
if you are already at risk because of previous bad experiences or personal factors.

increased genetic risk. However , having a parent or close relative with depression

influence.
