Sometimes you it is a true major depression, i.e., a disorder psychiatric with an organic basis, determined by the unfavorable interaction of genetic predisposition and life situations.

In these cases, we speak of secondary or reactive depression. Find out what are the main triggers of depression after 40 and how to counteract them.
