my wife asks:why sometimes one is sad or depressed without any obvious reason?

Answer 1

Depression can be caused by many reasons. No body is depressed without reason, there is always a reason, but it might not be as apparent from the outside. People (especially kids) can be depressed because of a bad reaction to artificial colorings and flavorings. Moves, divorces, or other major changes in life can cause depression as well, or even something as an unbalance in you hormone household, but this has a reason as well. But people never get a depression for 'no' reason at all.

Answer 2

There are many reasons a human being can become sad and depressed. Is your wife asking for herself or someone else she knows? Human beings can be complex creatures. For a woman that has these feelings, can be a broad spectrum of problems. Women suffer with hormonal changes, that can cause a person to feel sad and depressed. The change of life is another one that can make some women feel sad and depressed. When was the last time your wife went to see her doctor? She should get checked out. A womans body can be just as perplexing as a mans body.

Happy situations such as a wedding or graduation can make a woman feel sad and depressed. While they appear happy, they could also have mixed feelings deep in their heart. The sheer realitization of knowing that their son or daughter or grandson or granddaughter won't be living at home anymore, can wreak havoc with their emotions. They start thinking about when their children or grandchildren were born and growing up, and now they won't be around much to see them.

Death in the family or a anniversary of someone's death can make women sad and depressed.

The list goes on and on. If this problem is of your wife's, I strongly recommend that she see her family doctor. He or she should be able to shed some light as to what's wrong. If this problem is not your wife's but someone else's, I strongly recommend they seek medical treatment.

Good luck I hope I was some what helpful!

Answer 3

A chemical imbalance in the brain can cause depression. And since we cannot ever know all that has or is going on in a person's life, it's impossible to say they are depressed for no "obvious" reason.

Answer 4

Chemical imbalance. Stress that has been suppressed.
Could be going through menopause. She should go to a doctor. You didn't give any details. But I'm wondering if she has had a historectomy and what is her age? Also, on the spiritual side (very serious) I do not know your beliefs, but sounds as if the above does not fit, or even if it does. She may be gifted with the gift of "EMPATHY", Are there certain times or places that this tends to happen to her? Does it happen when she is alone or more-so when or not long after she has been around people? Please let me know, maybe I can help.(?) My email is ; [e-mail]

Answer 5

It's due to a deficiency of certain chemicals in the brain. Many people who have a "good life" are very depressed, while lots of poor people or people with a lot of problems are very happy.

Also, tests have shown that those who meditate are often happier.
