Cognitive Theory of Depression
Who does the cognitive factors of life affect depression?
According to the cognitive model of depression, depression is caused due to the shaping of our behavior directly by beliefs and thoughts. This model has vast scientific evidence to believe that maladaptive cognitions preced disorders as depression. Depressive symptoms result when people's attributions for external
events are based on maladaptive beliefs and attitudes.
The cognitive model of depression is based on three specific ideas.First the negative view of self, the world, and the future. Secondly the pattern of maladaptive thoughts and beliefs. Last the cognitive errors which is the faulty thinking accompanied by negative and unrealistic representations of reality.
This three ideas combine to construct the base of the model that is thought to explain wy people become depressed.

Biological Theory Of Depression
How is Biology related to depression?
Scientist have discovered that people with depression have diffrences in the brain in relantionship with people that do not suffer from depression. For instance, the hippocampus appears to be smaller in people with a history of depression than in those who've never been depressed. A smaller hippocampus has fewer serotonin receptors. Serotonin is a calming brain chemical known as a neurotransmitter that allows communication between nerves in the brain and the body. It’s also thought that the neurotransmitter norepinephrine may be involved in depression.
The stress hormone cortisol is produced in excess in depressed people. Scientists believe that cortisol has a toxic effect on the hippocampus. One thing is for sure, that depression is a condition that is created by the contribution of many factors. Some of the main causes may be biological facotrs such as the size of the hippocampus.
