I would not exactly say there is a 'main' cause, depression is different for everyone, and different things and factors may have caused their depression.

Chemical and hormonal imbalance in the brain. Stress, trauma. Illnesses with thyroid deficiency can also cause depression

There isn't a main cause of depression. Depression can come from many things such as abuse, a major change in your life (having a child, going to college), a major stressor (school, competition, death of someone), or just from nothing at all.

I dont think there is a single main cause for depression, it can be triggered by so many different things, alcohol, drugs, death. For me it was the deaths of my grandparents, it hit me really hard as i was close with them. I think that the main cause of depression depends solely on the person if i am honest.

Research tells us that other factors contribute to the onset of depression, including genetics, changes in hormone levels, certain medical conditions, stress, grief or difficult life circumstances

Holding on to things. It could be anything from the smallest fight with your mother to protecting a criminal from the Police.

The causes of depression are different for different people. We are all unique and so are our causes.

I would say holding on too much for too long. And the sadness kind of become as a second nature. Sometimes it is genetic if you have parents with some of this problems.

There are so many causes of depression and you can't pinpoint it down to one. Personally, the main root can be a sense of loss, helplessness, loneliness or someone hurting you in an irreparable way. But the thing is, it can be repaired, even though it seems like it's not.
