The cause of depression is largely unknown, although several theories exist. One theory is that depression is due to the reduced function of one or more neurotransmitter chemicals in the brain such as norepinephrine, dopamine, or serotonin. Another theory that has been researched is that chemical receptor sites may not optimally bind the chemicals serotonin or norepinephrine. Other factors that may affect why some people are more likely to experience depression include the following:
- heredity and family history of depression,
- personality,
- lower socioeconomic status,
- medical conditions,
- medications,
- substance abuse,
- advanced age,
- sex (females have a higher incidence),
- lack of social support, and
- inadequate diet.
