Depression is a mental health condition caused by a combination of factors. These factors include biological factors (such as imbalances in brain chemicals), psychological factors (like low self-esteem or negative thinking patterns), environmental factors (such as life changes or chronic stress), medical conditions, or substance abuse. It's important to remember that these factors often interact and can vary from person to person. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of depression, seek help from a mental health professional who can provide an accurate diagnosis and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
