Does something really bad have to happen for you to become "Depr

I have been reading all these things about people who have watched their friends and family die, who have been raped, who have to live with drug addicts, who have been abandoned....

It is truly terrible what people have to go through, some of these people have become so depressed because of their experiences, but some have become so much stronger.

Reading all of this has made me really cofused..... Does something truly awful have to happen to you for you to become depressed or can you just become depressed for no particular reason?

thanks for ur answers, it means a lot

but when you don't know the cause, how can you know the cure? sorry for asking but i am really strugling with things and want to find a way out...

Thanks i appreciate it!

u can become depressed no matter what age, what race, what sex, and it can happen at any time in ur life . the hard part is overcoming it, but u can do it, xxxxxxxxxxx
