Root Drivers
The causes are on a long list and they farther on built into powerful and horrible things. The most common way is conflict/personal problem/major event. A conflict can be between with your family and friends. A personal problem can be from social isolation, like from your family or clique, which caused you to have the emotion of loneliness. Lastly, a major event, even positive or negative may lead to depression.
