Things that can cause a social phobic attack can be as simple as meeting someone new. Most of us are afraid of public speaking, but the socially phobic person takes that fear to the extreme. Feeling like you they can't escape a certain situation or that they may be embarrassed defines agoraphobic people.

Another type of depression is a panic disorder. People who suffer from a panic disorder will have frequent panic attacks that cause them to have an overwhelming and unnatural fear that they are in some type of danger. During a panic attack these people may experience certain types of phobias that include a specific phobia to a certain condition, social phobia, or agoraphobia. All of these phobias are an unnatural, uncontrollable, and most times unstoppable fear of a certain situation, object, or action. People that have this type of anxiety disorder will go to any length to avoid the source of their phobia.

The one and only reason for Depression, anger, sadness is "EXPECTATION"
Think about it, It's always the expectations which are not meant most of the times leads to Depression.

We "EXPECT" something to happen and it doesn't: results in Depression
We "EXPECT" some one to do something as we want it to and he doesn't: results in Anger
We "EXPECT" for something in our favor and it doesn't happen, results in Sadness.

So one needs to learn to hold his expectations and accept things as they are, this reduces the Depression a lot. It comes with meditation and patience.

Cheers.

You are very close, but I would replace the word EXPECT with DESIRE

If I EXPECT rain and it doesn't happen, I am not upset

If I DESIRE rain and it doesn't happen, I am upset because my garden will die without it


If you break it down even further, everything is based in fear.  I fear my garden will not get enough water... I fear I will not have enough food to eat... I fear my wife is cheating on me... even desire is based in fear

Depression is a very complex term. Sometimes it can actually be a very severe mental illness that could only be helped with medicine. But being in a depressed mood really does have a lot of reasons. Though I think the main reasons for having depression is rejection from society and feeling little and small about yourself. When these two things happen I do think people become sad to an extent that they feel depressed.

[MarinaOlive10]

there are such a lot of elements that consequences in depression like , being bullied with the aid of other individuals, loss of self-self assurance, tiredness, lack of buddies to be speakme with when you have a troubles or every now and then we just inherit this kind of sickness from our elders or dad and mom.
