There are only two basic types – endogenous (caused by a chemical imbalance) and reactive (caused by some external event). They may have told her that the depression was triggered by a traumatic event – maybe someone’s death, or maybe through a physical or sexual assualt. In that case, it would have started as a reactive depression.
