"Hi! I'm Brenda F. Dixon, owner of Life Help Now in Nashville, Tennessee. We're here today with Expert Village, and our topic today is depression. The causes of depression come up frequently in my practice. I want to talk a little bit more about these causes. Some people say that it is genetic, some people say that's environmental, and some people say that it's imbalance in the chemicals in the brain. It probably could be all 3 of these total. These brain chemicals; they're linked very much to depression. There's serotonin and there's like a couple of other technical names for these chemicals, but they're very much linked to depression. Some people say that they are the cause of it if it get too low, and some people say it's the result of depression and it gets too low. It's like chicken and egg kind of thing. You don't know which started where or which started first. This depression is certainly uncomfortable. That is for sure, so it helps people know a little bit more about the causes of it. When you look at this depression, you'll begin to understand a better feel for it when you know more about it."
