In one sentence, stress is one of the main causes of depression. Being under stress causes many negative psychological reactions which lead to the depressive condition. The difference between a person who is not depressed and one who is depressed is that the person without depression are able to bounce back from the effects of the stressful situations once they have stopped. On the contrary, the depressed individual will continue to wallow in the negative emotions even once the stressors are no longer there. With stress as a contributing cause, it would be a stressor that was present over a prolonged period of time that would cause the depression.
