I believe you're born with a predisposition for depression, bipolar, etc and something causes it to surface.

In my case I had an number if traumatic events occur when I was 5 which probably set me up for when I was 8 when my father started to abuse me physically.

I think that triggered my depression which eventually led to my bipolar diagonals more than 30 years later.
