What causes depression? Does it afflict even happy healthy individuals from time to time and if so, why?

Question:

I don't mean clinical depression; serious depression where you entertain suicidal thoughts or depression that follows life altering events. I am talking about "low level" depression where you feel somewhat blue...but for no apparent reason...things are going well in your life and your relationships are positive...yet you feel a void...a sort of depression. Are there causes for this? Do all people, in varying degrees, go through these depressions?

Answers:
Serotonin and Dopamine. And yes all people do.

If your not unhappy about anything. You are not content in what you are doing with your life. Try some new things, hobbies and conquer some fears.
