      Depression can happen as a result of many different things, like physical illness, experiences in childhood, unemployment, death of a close family member, family problems. Sometimes there isn’t a clear reason for the depression and we stil don’t really know why people going through the same experience may get or not get depression, but there are genetic influences.
