What Causes Chronic Depression?

Why do I seem to cry every day? I can t watch commercials about abandoned children or animals. I was watching church on television today and cried while watching. I am 79 and divorced. I have a 57 year old son who is a high functioning bi-polar. He lives on his own and works every day. He helps me and I worry about his life after I am gone. I cry about this every day because all he will have is his work or the same alone time I deal with. He will not discuss this with me. YYYY@YYYY
