Just by asking that question indicates that the questioner does not really understand the cause of depression. Granted, depression may take place when everything is going wrong in a person's life but this is not the usual clinical depression that most people encounter.
Depression is frequently genetic and associated with biochemical abnormalities in the body.
Therefore, the fact that a person lives in a very nice house, is happily married, and doesn't have more than the usual worries, does not mean he or she is immune to becoming depressed. Being in such a favorable situation does not change a person's biochemical make up, hence the depression. But the good news is that medications are now available that are able to change this biochemical state and the number of such drugs is increasing. All Rights Reserved.
