I think a major reason that people get depressed is that they feel isolated somehow, or that they feel as though they've been separated from something important that they either owned, interacted with religiously, or had an abstract connection with, which was never validated. It comes naturally that when we tie ourselves to things, which are impermanent, that we eventually feel or anticipate the loss of said things. This can result in depression if we don't know how to cope or just don't have the capacity to do so.
