If you're gonna argue that depression is a chemical imbalance then I would have to say epigenetics is probably the cause of that physical change as a result of environment/experience.
People become depressed because for one reason or another, their lives suck. Maybe somebody died, maybe they got abused, etc. They STAY depressed because they don't get help to deal with the trauma, or they're never able to "come out of it" on their own. On top of that, nobody ever tells them it's the wrong thing to do to go through life as a sad sack, and nobody wants to be around a sad sack, thus "depression" (habit based behavioral problem, attitude problem) breeds more loneliness and more sadness. It's a vicious cycle.
Unresolved trauma is the source of pretty much all pain in life... I've written about it before: http://www.sectual.com/thread-2360.html
