Consultation for depression. Depressed teenage boy being consoled by his general practice (GP) doctor during a consultation. He may be feeling lonely, sad or hopeless. Feelings of depression have many causes. They can be natural reactions to painful events, such as bereavement, or difficult periods of life. Persistent depression with no clear cause may be the result of social or psychological factors, or a sign of psychiatric illness. Alternatively physical causes such as infections or changes in hormonal levels may lie behind depression. Psychotherapy and antidepressant drugs are used to treat this condition.
