I know nothing about Health, but I know that Depression can be caused by a multitude of factors, such as the environment, mourning, and genetic issues, but there is no known cause, as it varies from person to person.

I think Josh is right. Medication usually helps, which indicates a biochemical cause, but the meds may treat the symptom, not the disease. There seems to be no single cause as it may vary from person to person. I would not, however, say that mourning causes depression. It is sadness, but sadness is not depression.

Well, at least I got something that I didn't know right!
I mean, I do D.T and Business Studies as GCSE's and the last thing that I did about health was in Year 9.
