Possibly: It is known that there are genetic risk factors related to depression. So, even if your depressive epsiodes appear to be explained by specfic circumstances, it is very possible that there are genetic risk factors that make it more likely for you to become depressed.

Could be: People with a strong family history of depression are "predisposed". Check your family history. Even if anecdotal stories surface about seasonal depression, winter blues or more serious history you may have your answer.

Feeling Good: There are several types of depression. Reactive depression occurs as a result of loss and eventually we adjust. If one does not adjust or if the cause is not clear certainly seek professional help. "feeling good" by david burns is an excellent self-help book based on science. Don't let the thickness of it intimidate you. We are not at the mercy of our genes. Search "epigenetics."
