I feel the need to make an important point here - Not all depression is reactive and brought on purely by the enviroment. Enviromental factors can make some depressions harder to deal with, however.
In my case, my depression is not reactive. It happens almost at random and goes through phases of being worse than at other times. I am not bi-polar though. I will point that out as well, to help prevent confusions (my psychs, plural do not have me down as that for a dx at the moment, but it has been considered in the past).
I know that for me, being stressed and tired can make all of my mh symptoms worse, including the depression and I can also find that if one of my other symptoms e.g anxiety or psychosis is playing up that can also make me feel worse.
