Is a lack of love one cause of depression?

[Starmix]

A lack of love, or feeling unloved, can absolutely contribute to depression. While it is not the sole cause, it is a significant factor for many. Humans are social creatures, and strong social connections, including feeling loved and accepted, are crucial for mental well-being. The absence of these connections can lead to feelings of loneliness, isolation, and low self-worth, all of which are common symptoms of depression.
