A psychiatrist once told me that antidepressants aren't very effective in treating depression caused by grief.
All I know is that smoking cigarettes helps me but at the same time I realize this is not a rational long-term solution. It is the only thing that works (moderately) at this point.
Perhaps that means that my depression is caused by a problem in the dopamine system. However, I have experienced many traumatic life events in a short period of time, so that stress can trigger depression too and possibly cause "chemical imbalances" of its own.
