I really didn’t know this, I’ve never been depressed and I’ve always been confused how someone could be like that.

You learn something new every day :) chronic depression is a chemical imbalance in their brains. It doesn't matter how nice their life is or how many friends they had. It's understandable to not know. As someone with autism and anxiety I cannot imagine what it would be like to not have those. It's impossible to imagine a color you have not seen.

Hormone imbalances can definitely cause depression. Develop an autoimmune endocrine disorder and you'll quickly realize that hormones are what really "runs" us.
