I'd have to say the previous post is correct to and it's not an either or, 1 or 1 but can be 1 and 1. Two factors, nurture and learning, it's not always nature and learning. Yes, neurological cases include learning or reason which does not fit a stereotype of depression but deals with causes. It is said that around 10% of the population suffer from (form of) depression and there may be a bit of depression in everyone, iow it can therefore develop (manifest).
Can depression be caused. An example imo might be the cause and effect we see mirrored from abuse early in life growing up and the effect that we see that happens in situations which we may be prone to ignore, especially if we are told. People may not listen. Just because it does not fit the stereotype we're just opening up on it in modern times, it still remains a response. Reality! What one sees. Yes a form of perception. Another example is where a healthy person experience strong anxieties, say fear.
Tell me, how does one really tell the reason since it isn't within the experiencing of it. Another may look at it and say what are you talking about? The experience cannot be manufactured for us by mere words.Of course the literature is correct but recognition of nurture should be part of the discussion as it is as important and one day may be included in the discussion. My experience confirms both statements are correct, not just one.
Neither answer is perfect.
