Mood Disorder #8: Depression Through Illness Or Medicine
The causes of Major Depressive Disorder are not well understood. We are still trying to understand why people get the condition, and how to treat it. Sometimes, though, the causes of depression can be far easier to pinpoint. It is quite often caused by illnesses, or by medicines.
It is often known in advance that certain medications will cause the victim to become depressed. Depending on their necessity, though, there may be little choice in giving them to the patient. Recreational drugs can also lead to depression, and a vicious circle can form because depression can lead to more drug use.
