Depression
It is important to keep in mind that there is no single cause for depression. Depression can arise at anytime, even if things are going good. You are not alone and it is okay to reach out for help!

Depression is more common in women as there are hormonal factors that contribute to symptoms.
However, men have a higher rate showing symptoms of irritability, anger, and discouragement which is why depression is not commonly seen in men.
