All of the options you've provided can be associated with depression. However, if you're looking for the most direct causes among them, feelings of guilt or helplessness and loss of interest in hobbies and activities are particularly indicative of depression.
To clarify:
- **Age** can influence the onset or experience of depression but is not a direct cause.
- **Feelings of guilt or helplessness** are common symptoms and can contribute to depressive feelings.
- **Hormonal changes** can affect mood and potentially trigger depression.
- **Loss of interest in hobbies and activities** is a hallmark symptom of depression (anhedonia).
If you need to choose one as a direct cause, either "feelings of guilt or helplessness" or "loss of interest in hobbies and activities" would be strong candidates.
