Top Physical Causes for Depression

How to define depression? Well, one way to express it lies in the emotional realm. This is what was earlier known about the condition. In the past, most experts felt that it is not more than a kind of an emotionally generated streak that gets bulged out from within an individual, mostly at the time of an emotional outburst. This is the reason why the treatment earlier revolved either around therapy or counseling.

The condition soon known by another term as chemical imbalance. Initially, a plethora of reasons were given to support the theory on depression either due to the lack of serotonin levels or a fault in  its metabolism. This is why it was addressed with some anti depressant chemicals to overcome serotonin levels in the brain and also to come out of your depression levels.

But such theories didn't work in the past as it's not just 'all in your head.' Here are twelve physical conditions that can give rise to the symptoms related to depression. If you or someone you know is suffering from depression, then, be sure to check out all such conditions for a solution.

So, it was highly confusing as it cannot always lie in your head. Now, please check out some of the most viable physical conditions to give rise to the symptoms related to depression:
