Major Depressive Disorder - Depression is a much misunderstood term. Depression is not just a temporary mental distress caused by failing an exam, a relationship breakup, or financial issues. Depression is a mental disorder. A mental disorder that can lead to death if not properly treated. Depression is caused by genetic, environmental, and psychological factors that cause fluctuations in neurotransmitters in the brain. 40% of the causes of depression are hereditary factors.I have seen many people here refer to even very trivial problems as depression. Don't try to self-diagnose any mental issues without fully understanding it! Happy Evening 🤝
