I believe it was Mahatma Ghandi who said your quotation.
There is not just one cause of depression. It is a complex disease that can occur as a result of a multitude of factors. For some, depression occurs due to a loss of a loved one, a change in one's life, or after being diagnosed with a serious medical disease. For others, depression just happened, possibly due to their family history. Factors involved in causing depression, include: A history of depression in the family: It is believed that depression is passed genetically from generation to generation, although the exact way this occurs is not known. Grief from the death or loss of a loved one. Personal disputes, like conflict with a family member. Physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. Major events that occur in everyone's lives, such as moving, graduating, changing jobs, getting married or divorced, retiring, etc. Serious illness: depressed feelings are a common reaction to many medical illnesses. Certain medications Substance abuse: close to 30% of people with substance abuse problems also have major depression. Other personal problems: these may come in the forms of social isolation due to other mental illnesses, or being cast out of a family or social circle.

Heheh, well first off. The Great Depression was going on at the time of Hitler, people just wanted food and jobs. Hitler promised all that, World War II brought us out of the Great Depression. Hitler banned guns first off, then just made a bunch of stupid promises and blamed the Jews for everything. He eventually got everyone on his side and slaughtered millions of Jews. Ironically Hitler was a Jew by blood, he just never practiced the religion. You'll learn about this in History over the years.
The standard history teacher answer -- which you're no doubt looking for -- is World War 2. Many economists these days agree that World War 2 did not help end the Depression. However, you could say that the end of World War 2 helped end the Depression. Wars do not grow healthy economies. Wars destroy. People do not become wealthier through destruction. The reason for the confusion is that the Keynesian economics popular in the mid-20th Century taught that governments could "prime the pump" of an economy through government spending. By running deficits, growing public debt, and/or inflating their currency, a government can spend money and spur economic activity. This does create the appearance of a healthier economy, but it does not last. Real economic growth comes from capital development. Wars destroy capital (and priceless human capital). For example, if you burn your house down that creates work for carpenters who need to build you a new home. It helps the carpenters. But, on balance, has wealth been created? No. Wealth has been wasted.FDR's New Deal helped us recover from the Great Depression. The New Deal had three main goals, which was to recover, reform and relief.
The United States had a strong history for being isolationists-especially in the first world war. The United States also wasn't militarily strong enough to defend itself against either the Germans or the Japanese! The other primary reason was the United States was still dealing with the Great Depression and was too focused on domestic policy, not foreign policy.

Depression is caused by many factors. Some of which are more obvious than others. A person can develop depression from factors such as abuse, drug addiction, death or personal loss or major changes in ones life. These may be relatively obvious if to identify.
