For example:
A thirty-year-old woman has a low income and hopes for a better life in a new country. Her situation is not positive due to the poor living conditions, and the negative people she surrounds herself with.
Instead of living the life of her dreams, she has a boyfriend who is on drugs and is dangerous to innocent passersby.
He fights and yells at people on the street. It is these bad relationships that allow for depression and negativity in such communities.
People’s lives change overnight or over the years and it is difficult to cope with the habits they have formed. You can be an alcoholic, someone with a drug addiction, Bipolar, or a gambler.

Health problems can push you over the edge but when depressed and you look at life as a dark place this outlook on life makes you that depressed person.
