Psychological causes of Depression. These are grouped in two, those related to relatively rare psychological disorders, and others related to life stresses. The first group consists of rare hereditary diseases provoked by chemical imbalances in the brain. The second group is related to daily stress, overwork and fatigue, which can destabilize you emotionally. Either way, keep in mind that the physical causes for depression are much more common. |

Physical causes of depression. The main cause for depression is hormonal imbalance. Estrogen hormones have a definite effect on your mental state since they regulate the levels of serotonin, which is the brain chemical that manipulates mood. If your serotonin happens to drop, so will your mood, while if it rises, your mood will too. Therefore, depression can occur when your serotonin drops due to a decline in estrogen levels.
As imbalanced hormonal levels are the most common cause for depression, there are a variety of safe and effective treatments for it. Take a look at the following articles which explain exactly what steps to take for controlling depression. |

What to do about Depression?
The most important way to get the right treatment for depression is to find out whether your problem is psychological or physical. |
Psychological: Depression caused by rare psychological disorders should be treated by a psychiatrist. On the other hand, stress, overwork and fatigue should be treated by scheduling rest and joy time as well as integrating an exercise program into your daily routine. Keep in mind that in most cases a combination of psychological and physical treatments is the best option for managing depression. |

Physical: Because depression is probably caused by low hormonal levels, a hormonal balancing program is the best solution.
