Depression affects people of every age, economic situation, race, and skin color.  There is NO ONE reason for depression. There are lots of factors and probably a mix of two or more, accumulation of everything in life.  Here are Seven (7) Main Factors that can contribute to depression:

1) Genetics

2) Anxious Temperament/Personality

3) Physical Health and Stress

4) Lifestyles

5) Childhood Trauma/Maltreatment

6) Death of a Family Member and/or Friend and/or Pet

7) Relationship Problems

To US who are not experiencing depression:

a) Try to understand these factors

b) Acknowledge that you don't really understand depression

To YOU who are experiencing depression now:

a) Examine these factors (when you're okay) and face or deal* with it

b) Take responsibility for what you can, seek help for what you can't

God understands you. Read, memorize, study and keep God's Word in your heart > READ Psalms 139
