What Is Depression?
Depression, or major depressive disorder, is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think, and how you act.

Understanding the Causes of Depression
Depression does not have a single cause but is often the result of a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. Brain chemistry, stressful life events, medical problems, and family history can all play a role in its onset. Understanding these contributing factors is an important step in developing an effective, personalized treatment plan.
