Let’s say like a brain damage or a tumor. Or it is caused because of our life experiences? I would appreciate any feedback.

I will do. fireinsid 07-22-2004 @ 11:14 AM                              Member Joined: Jul. 2004 It depends on the person. Sometimes depression is a chemical imbalance in the body which can be leveled using certain medications. Other times it can be circumstance and a state of mind. Even though it isnt physical in this instance, drs and meds can help here also, although not as dramatically as for the chemical reason.
