Depression Cause
Depression cause can be both biological and psychological. Social factors play a role in causes of depression according to experts. The precise depression cause vary depending on the individual and their circumstances. Genetic background is a cause of depression in approximately 40% of women and 30% of men.
Biological depression causes are related to the deficit of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. The two main neurotransmitters involved with causes of depression are serotonin and norepinephrine. The depression cause of a low level of neurotransmitters could be a nutritional deficit that inhibits the production of those neurotransmitters.
Another depression cause may be an overactive hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) which can be regulated by serotonin medications or any increase in serotonin levels.
Psychological depression cause include the complex development of personality and how a person has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress.
Natural therapies to eliminate causes of depression focus on increasing overall health by addressing
diet, nutritional status with vitamin and mineral supplementation and
specific herbs, such as St. John's Wort which has been found to be
effective in mild to moderate depression.
