Causes of Depression

Substance Uses

Alcohol and drugs would lead to depression. However, even several prescription medications are associated with this mental issue. These include beta-blockers, corticosteroids, benzodiazepines, stimulants, statins, and anticonvulsants. If you experience any symptoms of depression after taking a drug, make sure to inform your doctor to get another option. Also, try to reduce your consumption of alcoholic drinks to reduce the risks.[5]
