why do people get depress?

Answer 1

I disagree that it is chemical imbalances. I know because I may be 14, but I am depressed. I've been depressed since I was 12. I'll be 15 in less than a week. Three years. Just existing... and sometimes it doesn't feel like that...

It can be caused by how we were treated. That's what happened to me. I was emotionally abused, and I started to believe it. Now it's hard for me to live with, and somehow, I do.

Answer 2

We still don't fully know the answer to that. There is a chemical imbalance in the brain, but do certain events trigger it or does it "just happen"? We don't know. My own theory is how well we were treated as children. When I was being treated for depression we saw a film on child abuse. Someone asked if we were mentally or physically abused as children. Out of 20 people in the room, 19 hands went up.

Answer 3

We all have days when we feel blue from time to time and this is normal. Actual chronic depresion is a chemical imbalance within the brain and can be managed with proper medication prescribed by a Dr.

Answer 4

Going to school and work, and then comming hoe and clean, and doing that every day, thats depressing. Not enough sun shine also causes it.

Answer 5

Reading bad spelling.
It is depressed.

Actually it is caused by the chemicals in our brains. They control all of our emotions.
When we exercise, our bodies produce more chemicals, so we feel better. When we do not exercise, we make less chemicals, so we feel bad. Problem; when we feel bad, we do not want to exercise. So we have to really PUSH ourselves to exercise every day. After we exercise, we feel great.

Answer 6

Sometimes by the events of life.. Death, sickness, poverty, hopelessness, etc. And sometimes by a genetic tendancy to have brain chemical imbalances.
