why is it some people are more prone to depression than others ?
Question:
Answers:
Anyone can experience depression, regardless of age, gender, race, creed or income. Every year millions suffer from some type of depressive illness. Although depression is common, it is a serious illness and can even lead to suicide.
One of the most common myths about depression is that it is "normal" for certain people to feel depressed – older people, young adults, new mothers, menopausal women, or those with a chronic illness. The truth is that depression is not (and should not be accepted as) a normal part of life for anyone, regardless of age or life situation.
Other Answers:
Depression is mostly caused by chemical inbalace, but your personality and upbringing play a role as well.
I think it is a chemical problem. I have been diagnosed and treated for depression. Although it appears there are some people in my family that may have it. I am the only one to have undergone treatment. Stressors and chemical imbalance will set it off. At least in my case.
People say its chemicals in the brain, others say that it's hereditary. Personally, I think it is there spirit. If a person has kind of a sad life all of there lives, they will be more prone to depression as opposed to someone who has experenced alot of success throughout there lives. You just kinda gotta tough it out, not like try to handle all that is comming at you yourself, but perhaps find a friend or a good psychiatrist to talk to about your problems if you are having any, makes things seem not so bad if you have someone to talk to.
I say it's probably due to both. The other factor could be the environment one is in at home and/or school and the people in it. It can also be due to the way one has been raised. I believe it's a different case for everyone and usually it's a combination of things. Everyone has their own limits and their own way of dealing with things. Some people don't really know how to express themselves and stress builds up and instead of anger being generated, it is depression that they experience.
Have you ever wondered about the reason of our existence? Have you ever wondered why we die, and where we go after death? What will happen to us in the end? Have you ever asked yourself why God made the earth and all that is in it under man’s dominion? Why were the night and the day, and the sun and the moon created? What are we supposed to do during our lifetime? Were we created just to eat, drink, and enjoy ourselves before we die? As one poet put it:
“I do not know whence I have come.
I saw my feet walking on the road.
As they please I go and stop.
What am I doing here?
How did the road find me?
I do not know! I do not know! I do not know! ”
God has emphasized in many verses of the Qur’an that He did not create us without purpose. He said: “What! Do you think that I created you simply in jest? And that you would not be returned to Me?” (23:115) He also said: “What! Does man think that he will be left to roam at his will?” (75:36) In addition, He said: “Do people think that they will be left to say: “We believe,” and they will not be held accountable?” (29:2)
Indeed, God Has created human beings for a purpose and with a purpose: TO WORSHIP HIM ALONE (Monotheism). He said: “I have not created the Jinn and humankind except only to worship Me. I don't require provision or feeding from them. Surely Allah is the All-provider, the Possessor of all strength, the Firm.” (51:56-58) In fact, all prophets told their people to worship God alone (Monotheism) and shun worshipping His creation (Paganism). God said: “I assuredly sent among every people a messenger with the command: Worship Allah and avoid worshipping false gods.” (16:36)
Prophet Abraham, for example, believed in One God, who had no partner. Anyone who holds a different understanding of God than this has contradicted the religion of Abraham and follows falsehood. God says in the Qur’an: “Those who reject the religion of Abraham make fools of themselves.” (2:130)
Prophet Jesus was reported in the Gospels to have said: “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only’.” (Luke 4:8)
Prophet Jacob also said (in the Qur'an) to his people: “Indeed, those which you worship besides Allah are only names that you and your forefathers have established, for which Allah has sent down no authority. The command belongs only to Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. That is the right religion, but most people do not understand.” (12:40)

Real happiness and peace can be ONLY found in submitting to the commands of the Creator and the Sustainer of this world. God has said in the Qur’an: (Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest.)
(Qur’an, 13:28)
On the other hand, the one who turns away from the Qur’an will have a life of hardship in this world. God has said:
(But whoever turns away from the Qur’an, he will have a hard life, and We will raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment.) (Qur’an, 20:124)
This may explain why some people commit suicide while they enjoy the material comfort money can buy. For example, look at Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam), formerly a famous pop singer who used to earn sometimes more than $150,000 a night. After he converted to Islam, he found true happiness and peace, which he had not found in material success.

It's both.
The only exception to the above is situational depression.holidays, winter, illness in the family or even a death in the family, loss of a job, work stress, etc.
Chemical depression, at least from my experience in my family, is hereditary. My mother had it, my grandmother to some extent, me, and several others up the line.
So the answer, to the best of my knowledge, is both.
Hope that this helps.
Love as always,
Sebastian
