Depression isn’t a sign of weakness.
It’s a chronic (long-term) condition that may require long-term management or treatment. Some people only have depression once, but many people have repeated episodes.
Getting help as soon as you think you may be depressed may prevent your depression getting worse. The exact causes of depression aren’t fully known. It seems more likely to occur if there’s depression in the family, but having a depressed relative doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily become depressed yourself. Furthermore, there are a number of lifestyle factors or influences in the world around you that may increase the risk of you developing depression.
