Holistic perspective
According to our ancient sciences, the kapha people predominately get affected by depression. Since kapha people exhibit inexpressive tendencies their inertia acts as tamas and sets in as a pattern. This causes accumulation of stress causing sluggishness and increases the tamo gunas in an individual where the kapha element gets vitiated and subdues the pitta and vata element. Although the kapha people are highly prone to get depression, faulty lifestyles and thinking patterns can bring in tamas into other constitutions causing vitiation of their elements causing depressions.
