What are the causes of depression

　　Depression I believe we have heard of it, some people say that people with this disease is because the heart is too heavy, small tolerance, some people say it is because of personal character reasons, in fact, experts said that: the causes of this disease is more complex, but if you are surrounded by people with this disease, we must be a little more patient with it, then what are the causes of depression? Next we look at the introduction of experts.

　　 1, personality factors

　　People with the following personality traits are prone to depression: pessimism, poor self-confidence, poor grasp of life events, excessive worry. These character traits can aggravate the stimulation of psychological stress events and interfere with the individual's handling of events. These character traits are mostly developed during childhood and adolescence, and the impact of mental trauma during this period is significant.

　 　2. Biochemical factors

　　Evidence suggests that disorders of biochemical substances in the brain are important factors in the development of depression. It is now known that there are a variety of neurotransmitters in the brain of patients with depression are disorganized; the sleep patterns of patients with depression are very different from those of normal people. In addition, specific drugs can cause or aggravate depression, and some hormones have the effect of changing mood.

　 　3、Environmental factors and stress

　　The loss of a critical need, strained relationships, financial difficulties, or a dramatic change in lifestyle, all of which can contribute to the onset of depression. Sometimes the occurrence of depression and physical disease, some serious physical diseases, such as stroke, heart attack, hormone disorders often trigger depression, and make the original disease worse. In addition, 1/3 of depression patients have substance abuse problems.

　 　4. Genetic factors

　　If there are patients with depression in the family, then the risk of family members suffering from this disease is higher, which may be the genetic cause of depression susceptibility is elevated. Bipolar depression is somewhat more heritable. However, not everyone with a family history of depression gets it, and not everyone with depression has a family history of it, which suggests that genetic predisposition is not the only determining factor in the disease.

　　I believe that you now understand the causes of depression, the majority of patients with this disease are female friends, menopausal women a little more, so we must learn to control their emotions and pay attention to depression.
