Six causes of depression, From Facebook to weather| TheNewsTribe.com

Depression is a sneaky disease and arises out of many issues. The culprit which is responsible for your state of depression may range from the weather conditions to your life style.

Here are a few causes behind depression,

Weather

For some people, sub-zero temperatures aren’t the only difficult side effect of winter. But for many people depression is the side effect of winter. This is a disorder basically which arises in winters and causes depression.

Smoking

Here’s a good reason to kick that habit to the curb: A 2015 British study found that smokers were more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression overall than non-smokers. Additionally, the study found that smoking may be a source of anxiety because of the feelings of withdrawal smokers experience after not having a cigarette, the researchers said.

Diet

Your physicality and mentality may be tied to what you consume. Research suggests that people who have a poor diet, think foods high in processed meats, sugar and fat — also were more likely to report symptoms of depression, the Mayo Clinic reported. A 2008 data analysis published in the Indian Journal of Psychology states that “nutrition can play a key role in the onset as well as severity and duration of depression.”

Lack of sleep

Sleep deprivation is no joke. If you don’t prioritize those Z’s, you’re not only at risk for chronic conditions like heart disease, you’re also at risk for emotional conditions. Research shows severe sleep loss can mess with your mood. Depression also can impact your sleep, creating a vicious cycle.

Being desk bound

The only avenue to a healthy body and mind is not only to prioritize what you eat, but how much activity you do. Research shows exercise can boost your mood. Not only that, the opposite behavior of too much inactivity may be linked to experiencing symptoms of depression. Time to move those feet.

Chronic illness

Dealing with chronic disease isn’t just tough physically, but emotionally as well. People who suffer from a chronic condition like heart disease, diabetes and cancer are more likely to experience depression, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It’s important to note that scientists have yet to determine which one may cause the other, but experts stress that there are specific ways to manage the mental health disorder while working through chronic illness.
