This is not fully known.

There is Reactive Depression, which is a normal response to bad events in life.

But there are many other types of depression that occur with no apparent causes. Some are probably due to internal biochemical/neurological conditions, others may have nonobvious subtle environmental causes, etc., but the exact mechanisms of these are still not known.
