Because depression is very common in young people. And it can be an important reason for the lack of progress in various societies.
Thank you very much for your good and useful response Dear Dr Sahar Qazi .
Lost in material life and no guidance; no spiritual life. Cities look lively and noisy but crowds of lonely souls. .
Many different factors and life circumstances can contribute to anxiety and depression in young people.
According to the website of Health & Human Department Services, State Government of Victoria, Australia, these can include:
*fights with family or friends
*experiencing a relationship break-up, recent death, abuse or neglect.
*changing schools or starting secondary school
being bullied
*Sometimes depression is caused by genetic factors or biological factors like chemical imbalances.
Lack of genuine love from friends and family members.
Get-rich-quick syndrome
Use of drugs
Unfulfilled dreams and aspirations in life.
Indebtedness may be from the banks or other sources.
General life failures......

Thank you very much for your helpful answers Dear Dr Zin Eddine Dadach ,Dhiaa Neama Jabbar and Oluwaseun A. Otekunrin .
Ambition far higher than actual capability leads to tension and then depression.
In the sea of friends of social sites, not a single friendship develops. So, nobody is there to share of pain, mental pressure and frustration.
So, depression becomes the ultimate destination.
The reason is their inability to see the light at the end of the dark tunnel that represents their future.
Young generation depend on their individual development have to under go depression has they may not received the employment opportunities or they may pass the competitive examination or it is also likely that they may have the problems of finance in such case they are passing thru depression .
For this sometimes back I have expressed my views in my publication under the captioned'' Avoid Invitation of Depression '' which I submit herewith for your perusal .
This is my personal opinion
The unemployment : The spread of unemployment has helped the spread of the phenomenon of depression ...
Young generation of 2018 is very passionate and enthusiastic than young generation of 1918, the future generation would probably super faster than 2018.
This generation think, propose and expect things should happen in quick time, but systems are slow (due to a certain set protocol and order of happen or transmission from one phase to another) when young people came across such scenarios and feel things not happening accordingly, get discouraged and disappointed.
Educational factors: This factor is one of the most serious factors of depression, because it transfers depression indirectly by watching the children of their parents; they move to certain methods and patterns, such as: pessimism and depression, and mistrust, and hypersensitivity
Among the causes of youth depression: his inability to achieve his dreams
Among the causes of youth depression: susceptibility to feeling as a victim
Among the reasons for depression of young people: self-behavioral reasons: drug addiction or sex, for example or deprivation of them
Social reasons: lack of basic elements of an individual's life such as employment, housing ... etc.
I agree with colleagues.
Other reasons could be disatisfaction and unclear future .
The real reason of depression in any age is unacceptability of the gap between perception and attainment.
The reasons for depression are ecological :
Western society focusses on:
- Instrumentality of nature - nature recuced to functionality
- instrumentality of society - being reduced to functionality.
Sports show the best representation of our society especially for young people:
- the excellent fit-in
- the lack of interpretation possibilities
- the goal driven activity
(Sports should be healthy recreation, but reduced to these terms, it becomes a harmful drug)
Thats why nature is endangered and "nature" in man aswel.
Beging depressed is anger turned inwards
Anger is a natural reaction in case of threat
The biggest cause of youth depression is the lack of job opportunities for them, as well as wars in their countries, especially developing countries, and migration.
Some of the objective reasons:
Persons who are happy to have a job: low salary, all day working, not enough physical activity, poor working condition, not enough free time.
Persons who do not have a job: Unemployment worries and consequently dependency on parents, low standard and quality of life.
So many factors such as pressure, stress, addiction, terminal disease, inferiority complex. See this link as well https://www.verywellmind.com/common-causes-of-depression-1066772

many factors may contribute to depression:
- Medications/ addiction
- Stressful life events
- Genetic vulnerability
- Diseases/
The reason for the depression is economic pressures, value conflicts within society, lack of proper planning, the spread of nepotism, unemployment and the value of the material, which has led to a sense of permanent failure and a lack of desire for success in life. Depression is a feeling of discomfort, happiness, complacency and life.
Young people are more likely to be depressed, some of whom are married, have not been successful in their marital life, or have been unable to meet the requirements of life. Some have never married for reasons of potential, lack of a suitable life partner or emotional trauma. In the presence of depression and inability to express emotions in time, so the emotions lead to negative effects on mental health, so it is recommended that specialists in psychiatry to allow every young man to express feelings and emotions.
Confusion. What to do, Where to be, How to get there, Who to be with at a time like this with a lot of distraction are enough to cause depression.
The great pressure familiar or social without the young man still having a well-established brain condition to get out of uncomfortable social situations.
Depression is the result of several things including unemployment, the unknown future, the surrounding conditions of instability, bad friends and others.
Greetings
Lack of future, depression , severe situations, being unable to achieve one’s goals, dreams unfulfilled. Those are the mostly depressing factors
Among the causes of depression
Genetic and biological factors: This occurs when the individual lives in an inherited family that has depression due to a lack of neurotransmitters at the center of the brain, which in turn is responsible for mood, emotions, thinking and behavior.
Conditions of life: Life can not be carried out on a stable ship without the existence of life's despondency; such as dear death, marital and family problems, loss of employment, deterioration of health, financial problems, non-marriage and unplanned retirement.

Lack of real targets and aims in life, such aims shall produce HOPE, hope never co-exist with depression.
So many poor and miserable life people do not suffer from depression, as they have several targets, aims, and hopes which they are working hardly to achieve them.
Have anybody ever heard that Edisson or Neoton or Curie or such fellows ever suffered from depression (during their effective life of course) ?
What about working hardly towards our aims in our forthcoming second life ? This is the real therapy of depression !

In my opinion, depression is caused from inferiority complex. When one thinks he/she is inferior in a matter then it is obvious that his/her mental condition get upset and following depression takes the place. Everyone should be happy with what he/she has got and he/she must have faith in the Almighty GOD.
Technological addictions, 4G telecommunications Addictions, Social Media Addictions, Lack of Parental Care, Lack of Intellectual Religious Faith & Belief, Lack of proper Sleep, Late Morning Sleep Wakeups.

Luck of proper guidance and unemployment are the main reasons for depression in young people.
Thank you for your helpful answer Dear Dr Abdullah Noori .
What I think is , the state of your mind depends on the environment you are surrounded with. So the main cause of depression is the poorness of choice as in what you choose to be surrounded by . For example , if you are surrounded by high class people, you may feel inferior and thus, depressed. Again if you are surrounded by low class people, you will think about where you are going with with your life and get depressed. The same thing applies for the music or fashion choice, field of study choice , gadget choice and so on. The primary cause is the poorness of choice because you see, you never feel depressed when you make a good choice.
Recently, "modern type depression" is increasing among young people.
Young people seem to be confident, but in fact there is a common spiritual background that they are overly sensitive and uneasy about evaluations others make.
Psychotherapy in such a form as to arrange the characteristics and abilities of the principal and make them aware of them.
Furthermore, medication therapy such as antidepressant administration is carried out after judging the effect.
It is necessary to think social factors such as school education as a background to the increase of youth of depression. Therefore, the correct understanding of the surroundings is also indispensable.
People especially young hang on to life with all of its technology or even do not spend their time with useful things..all of this lead to depression..they should start think of the creator for all of his gifts to us and work harder to be successive people..from all of this happiness may bring to their souls
Virtual friends
Use of drugs
Failure from parents and family members
Over ambition
Unfulfilled dreams and aspirations
Government neglect of some set of people especially the poor.
Living Materialistic nor naturalistic life is the biggest cause for depression.
Among the causes of depression among young Arabs: His inability to realize his dreams
Which often require inexperienced expertise because of their lack of early involvement in the life of the culture that dominates the society, where they remain under the absolute care of the family to the extent that they are paid until the age of marriage. Jobs are available, and competition is increasing for them day by day. Therefore, the community must reconsider this, and unleash the children to build their own attitudes in life, and their early realization under the umbrella of the health guidance, which only saves him from the experiences that may lead him to what is not praised the consequences.
Among the causes of depression among young Arabs: Susceptibility to feeling as a victim
There is a deep rooted feeling in the Arab personality. I do not know its source. It causes it to despair quickly and to stop at the first or second stop in the series of natural attempts to succeed, and then to complain of endless bursts of pain as an unjustified response to failure from the first time. Of those around him that he did what he should have done, that the problem around him, and that he was the victim of a global conspiracy that was woven against him to be among the losers
The famouse reason of depression in young people are Family differences , the death of a friend , weakness in the skills of dealing with the community, injury in physical disabilities or chronic illness , genetic factors and unhealthy eating
loneliness because of the great change that exists in today's society with so much technology
Prabhjot Kaur, in addition to that point you raised are drugs and neglect
The trigger for puberty in both boys and girls is the production of 'gonadotrophin releasing hormone' (GnRH) from a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. This hormone stimulates the pituitary gland to release two hormones, Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). The teenage years can be tough, and it's perfectly normal to feel sad or irritable every now and then. But if these feelings don't go away or become so intense that you can't handle them, you may be suffering from depression. The good news is that you don't have to feel this way.
Many factors increase the risk of developing or triggering teen depression, including:
1: Having issues that negatively impact self-esteem, such as:
2: obesity,
3: peer problems,
4: long-term bullying or
5: academic problems. 6: Having been the victim or witness of violence, such as physical or sexual abuse.
7: Abuse. Past physical, sexual, or emotional abuse can increase the vulnerability to clinical depression later in life.
8: Certain medications. ...
9: Conflict. ...
10: Death or a loss. ...
11: Genetics. ...
12: Major events. ...
13: Other personal problems. ...
14: Serious illnesses.

I think over-ambition is the biggest cause of depression in young people.
Dr Mohamadreza Rezaei Ahvanooei .. Depression may be triggered by stressful life events like bullying at school, parental separation or divorce, bereavement or conflicts with family members or friends.
In my opinion, this is due to the full absence of parents and school in providing the necessary guidance, the absence of religious education and also the disintegration and disruption of the family (divorce, for example).

Among the causes of depression
A depressed person does not enjoy the pleasures of life and is not happy to do the usual activities, as he has enjoyed before. The average person can feel good and happy when he or she succeeds in something, has a favorite meal, makes a trip or watches a comedy, An American study has shown that people suffering from depression are more likely than others to become obese due to lack of self-confidence, low physical activity, and a feeling of over-eating. Dr. Mulla advises laughter from the heart that shakes feelings and feels warm and gives the vital breath. The most dangerous thing that affects the health of the human being is that the device stops its happiness and laughter, sincere laughter protects him from depression, headache, tension, high pressure, stress and crises. The discovery of laughter center in the right half To the brain to prove the effect of laughter on the health status of humans, especially that the amount of adrenaline increases in the blood in case of laughter...
The unemployment the biggest cause of depression in young people.

The simple cause to have a depression is feeilng sad is a normal reaction to experiences that are stressful or upsetting. However, when these feelings go on and on, take over your usual self and interfere with your whole life, it can become an illness but don’t forget that this illness is called ‘depression. When a someone has many problems, many difficulties at home and at school, as well as in relationships with family and friends,.. so he decide to start taking risks by misusing drugs or alcohol, having inappropriate sexual relationships but sometimes may even try to kill themselves. :/ :(
the depression can affect a person of any age.
Economic depression
Joblessness
Betrayal by friends and family members
Loss of loved ones to the cold hands if death. These are possible causes of chronic depression in young people today.
What causes depression?
There is no specific cause for depression. It is usually caused by a mixture of things, rather than any one thing alone such as:
- or personal experiences can be a trigger. These include family breakdown, the death or loss of someone you love, neglect, abuse, bullying and physical illness.
- Depression can start if too many changes happen in your life too quickly.
- You are more likely to suffer from depression if you are under a lot of stress, have no one to share their worries with.
- Depression may run in families and can be more common if you already suffer from physical illness or difficulties.
- Depression seems to be linked with chemical changes in the part of brain that controls mood.
Facts, Symptoms, and Causes of Teen Depression
Depression is a condition that affects approximately 5% of children and teens at any given time, according to the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. Depression can cause problems such as difficulties in school, difficulties with relationships, and general decreased enjoyment of life. At its worst, depression can lead to suicide, one of the leading causes of death for teens in the United States. Take the time to educate yourself on this important and difficult subject for the health and happiness of your teen.
What Is Depression?
Depression is an illness with many causes and many forms. It is a disorder of someone’s moods or emotions; it is not an attitude that someone can “control” or “snap out of,” but it is treatable with counseling and/or medication.
Symptoms
A teenager with depression might have some or all of these signs of the illness:
- Sad or depressed mood
- Feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness
- Loss of interest in things he or she used to enjoy
- Withdrawal from friends and family
- Crying
- Inability to sleep, or sleeping too much
- Loss of appetite, or increased appetite
- Aches and pains that don’t go away, even with treatment
- Irritability
- Feeling tired despite getting enough sleep
- Inability to concentrate
- Thoughts of suicide, talk of suicide, or suicide attempts
Types
The National Institute of Mental Health states that there are two common forms of depression: major depressive disorder and dysthymic disorder:
- Major Depressive Disorder, also called major depression, is characterized by a combination of symptoms that interfere with a person's ability to work, sleep, study, eat, and enjoy once–pleasurable activities. Major depression is disabling and prevents a person from functioning normally. An episode of major depression may occur only once in a person's lifetime, but more often, it recurs throughout a person's life.
- Dysthymic Disorder, also called dysthymia, is characterized by long-term (two years or longer) but less severe symptoms that may not disable a person, but can prevent one from functioning normally or feeling well. People with dysthymia may also experience one or more episodes of major depression during their lifetimes.
Causes
There are thought to be many causes of depression. There are most likely many factors behind who develops depression and who doesn’t, and these factors are no different for teens.
- Traumatic Life Event, such as the loss of a loved one or pet, divorce or remarriage. Any event that causes distress or trauma, or even just a major change in lifestyle, can trigger depression.
- Social Situation/Family Circumstances. Unfortunately, there are teens who live under difficult circumstances. Domestic violence, substance abuse, poverty or other family issues can cause stress and depression in a teen.
- Genetics/Biology. It has been found that depression runs in families and that there is a genetic basis for depression. Keep in mind, though, that teens who have depression in their family will not necessarily get the illness, and teens without a history of depression in their family can still get the disorder.
- Medical Conditions. Occasionally, depression is a sign of another medical illness, such as hypothyroidism, PMS (premenstrual syndrome) or other disorders.
- Medications/Illegal Drugs. Some legal, prescription medications can have depression as a side effect. Certain illegal drugs (street drugs) can also cause depression.
How to Help
Talk to your teen about your concerns. There may be a specific cause for why he or she is acting a certain way. Opening up the lines of communication lets your teenager know you care and that you are available to talk about the situation.
Also, talk to your pediatrician or family physician if you have concerns about your teen regarding depression. Your provider may be able to discuss the situation with your teen, rule out a medical reason for the behavior, recommend a counselor, or prescribe medication.
Lastly, DO NOT ignore the signs or symptoms of depression. Depression is treatable and there is help available for both you and your teen. If left untreated, depression can lead to thoughts of suicide or even the act itself.
If your teen talks about suicide or attempts suicide, get help IMMEDIATELY. Your local community should have a 24-hour crisis hotline for mental health emergencies. You can also call the Kristen Brooks Hope Center at 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433) for help, 24-hours a day, 7 days a week.
