Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the factors contributing to depression and their effects on individuals' mental and physical health. This research follows a descriptive methodology and relies on library resources. Depression is one of the most significant disorders in the field of psychology, characterized by symptoms such as negative thinking, difficulty concentrating, decreased activity, loss of motivation, forgetfulness, sleep disturbances, changes in appetite (overeating or undereating), and suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Various factors contribute to depression, including family-related, social, cognitive, pseudo-economic, and personal failures. Depression has a profound impact on both mental and physical health, leading to difficulties in concentration, social withdrawal, lack of interest and pleasure, memory problems, sleep disturbances, and, in severe cases, suicidal ideation.
