There's one cause that is really hard to detect (unless you're informed about it) and that I suspect is behind a lot of people with depression. In fact it took me decades, and only by chance did I realise what it was: Emotional abuse / neglect, especially the one that occurs in childhood. * You feel something in life is lacking but dont know what, or blame yourself for it, or look for it in in thrill seeking activities, or through buying stuff to fulffill this emptiness, or you escape from this ever present painful feeling with addiction (hint of what that thing is: being really loved, not romantically loved, but actual unconditional love, the one that only healthy parents can give and which you feel in some way when you have a community behind you. Partial love given by a lot of people ends up almost feeling like parental unconditional love.) * Can't seem to make friends, or make friends but don't seem to connect at a deep level and end up feeling lonely anyway. * Also the cause of social anxiety. * Burnouts due to lack of boundaries (which also come from abuse). Feeling like you put others first all the time, and end up feeling somewhat fake. * (...) All of these can lead to depression. And they all have the same root-cause. And barely anybody talks about this (unless you go really looking for these communities, but unfortunately they're not really mainstream).
