What people should know about triggers for depression

Depression is more than having the “blues.” It can affect anyone including the famous celebrities. In order to understand depression, it is important to first identify triggers. Here are 6 causes of depression:

  1. Loss or stress

    Grieving over the death of someone close can lead to depression. Other triggers include life stresses such as job loss, change in finances, loss of a home, abuse, etc.

  2. Family History

    Depression tends to run in families. If one or more of your close relatives have had depression, you may develop it as well.
