On my way to school today..I came across a man that slumped and died instantly on the road.. People said he might be going through depression..I want to know what causes depression and how to deal with it..
there are too many variables which could lead to depression, I'm gonna use Maslow's hierarchy of needs to clarify this.
From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the needs are: physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem and self actualization.

If on of those is not fulfilled, it could lead to a depression. You could ask me anything regarding to this theory, let's discuss.

Here is a useful link to understand better what is Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
