People's lives are shaped by family of origin, significant others and defining life events. These impact on perceptions, thinking, emotions, choices and behaviour. Depression can be a result of mental, emotional and physical pain. People can be subjected to varying levels of hurt, loss and abuse.

Depression can also be aligned with existential pain which is a lack of motivation and purpose in a person's life. These affect a person's emotional state creating depressed moods. Depression is a low mood condition with feelings of loss, sadness, grief, anger and injustices. These cause a sense of worthlessness, helplessness, hopelessness. Depression causes a person to be disconnected from others and emotionally detached. Often depressed people retreat to a safe place such as their homes and become isolated. Depressed people view their lives through a filter of negative thinking and beliefs. This further depresses the mood centre of the brain.
