Question: 1 / 400

What environmental factor is not considered a trigger for endogenous depression?

Biochemical imbalances

Relationship breakups

Endogenous depression is defined as a mood disorder characterized by episodes of severe depression that are not clearly linked to any environmental causes. This means that events such as relationship breakups, which are considered to be external causes, are not typically included as triggers for endogenous depression.

Option A, biochemical imbalances, are considered to be a potential cause or contributing factor to this type of depression. Option C, genetic disposition, is also a common factor associated with endogenous depression.

Option D, "None of the above," is incorrect because options A and C are both valid triggers for endogenous depression.
