Can it be possible for too much stress to cause depression?

Stress over time: Can cause depression and other physical symptoms. Prolonged stress is not good for us psychologically or physically. It is important to find ways to reduce stress to avoid these types of complications. Talk to a therapist about life stressors, learn relaxation techniques as soon as possible.

Depression: Yes, stress over long periods of time can tax the body to the point that depression could be experienced. My colleagues may disagree with me on this, but depression and anxiety are two sides of the same coin. I hope others chime in on this excellent question.

Stress/depression.: Too much chronic unrelenting stress can certainly lead to depression. It's too much to type here, but look up the concept of "learned helplessness" and you'll see how unrelenting, unending stress can lead to depression and feelings of hopelessness.
