Reactive Depression --- Plato
Stress can cause Brief Reactive Psychosis, and it can cause Depression as well. so perhaps it can indirectly.
Sometimes it does and sometimes it does not, it all depends on the severity of symptoms. Most reactive depression is uncomplicated and self terminating, a person recovers on their own. But persistent cases or those that begin to have extreme symptoms do require some kind of treatment. The kind of treatment will vary, it may be nothing more than a few sessions of talk therapy or it may require medication. In the far extreme, reactive depression can result in suicidal ideation or an actual attempt; such cases require hospitalization.
Reactive depression may or may not be a serious problem, it depends entirely on how much it affects the person's ability to function.
No, that type of depression is called Reactive Depression.Major Depression, Dysthymia (mild depression), and the Depression Phase of Bipolar Disorder can strike entirely "out of the blue" for no apparent external reason. They may or may not have external triggers, but the trigger if there is one can as easily be mood incongruent (good events trigger depression) as mood congruent (bad events trigger depression).
Technically there is no cure for any type of depression. Therapists can help some people manage it, but not all. Medications can help some people manage it, but not all.Depression due to death of a loved one is one type of what is called Reactive Depression (depression with a clear external causative event). Almost all cases of Reactive Depression regardless of cause are self limiting, they will resolve on their own with or without treatment.So you will recover, but you won't be cured. This event will always touch your life.
There are basically two types of depression. If you have depressing circumstances in your life (a failing marriage, bankruptcy, etc.) you can understandably react to them by becoming depressed, which is known as reactive depression. That is not a psychiatric problem, it is a problem in managing your life, and the solution to the depression is to solve the problems that are making you depressed. The other kind of depression has no apparent cause in the circumstances of your life, and is related to brain chemistry. That is a psychiatric problem and it can be successfully treated by the use of antidepressants.
It is as reactive as indium. Just kidding, it is reactive. Hoe reactive, more reactive than silver, but not as reactive as tin.

There are basically two types of depression. The first is technically known as reactive depression. This means, something depressing has happened, and your reaction is to become depressed. The solution to reactive depression is to persevere, to do things that will make your life better. If your girlfriend has left you, chances are you can still find another girlfriend, and even if you can't, you can get a pet cat, which is not quite the same but which may still make you feel better. The other type of depression is technically known as clinical depression. This is not caused by depressing events in your life, but is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, or some other neurological problem. This requires psychiatric treatment. Some people are helped quite a lot by the use of the right kind of medication. Don't try to find your own medication, this requires professional help. The world is full of drug addicts who are self medicating, and who have only made themselves worse.
