• Genetics: A family history of depression may increase your risk.
• Chemical Imbalance: Imbalances in brain chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine can contribute to depression.
• Life Events: Trauma, loss of a loved one, divorce, or financial stress can trigger depressive episodes.
• Chronic Illness or Pain: Ongoing health problems, including chronic pain, can lead to or exacerbate depression.
• Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, or thyroid issues can affect mood regulation and trigger depression.
