Risk Factors for Depression

Stress

In susceptible people, stress seems to play a role in having a depressive episode. This can include stress at work and home, single parenthood, and caring for children or aging parents. Other stresses that may trigger a depressive episode include a serious loss, a difficult relationship, a financial problem, or any stressful change in life patterns (whether unwelcome or desired).
