"Depression, like other mental illnesses, is probably caused by a combination of biological, environmental, and social factors, but the exact causes are not yet known. For years, scientists thought that low levels of certain neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, dopamine, or norepinephrine, in the brain caused depression. However, scientists now believe that the interplay of factors leading to depression is much more complex."
