What causes teenage depression?
Depression can be caused by any single or combination of biological, psychological and social factors. Biological factors that play a role in depression include school bullying, hormonal imbalances, environmental stresses, genetic factors improper diet, and even certain medications. Psychological causes involve elements that predispose people to become depressed as a result of their unhealthy self-esteem and negative attitude towards others, the world around them, and the future. Pressures in life are also often at the root of depression problems, among them failure, frustration, and experiences of loss (death of a loved one, divorce, relocation, break-up with steady girl/boyfriend, etc.).
