Up to 1 in 4 young people become depressed at some stage.
Sometimes this can be because something
has happened in their lives that causes them to have psychological problems,
eg
stress at home or at school
a death of a close friend.
Sometimes it starts when a family or a relationship breaks up.
Sometimes it involves a crisis like physical or sexual violence.
We know that depression is an illness that you can develop regardless of the events in your life or the support you have.
We think now that some people have a chemical imbalance in their brain that makes them feel sad, moody or anxious.
This means that they may be unable to control their emotions, and they may become severely depressed at times for no apparent reason.
Depressed people are NOT mad, but they do have a problem that needs treating.

People vary in their response to these crises.
What is stressful to one person may not be so to others.
