Is Depression biological in nature? Is it more about the environment? Is it...

...both?neither? something else? People consider me depressed(enough to want to take my life) which i don't dispute that i am sadder than "average", but if anyone else had to live with the things i've been through(not to self-pity) they would too. i know there is endogenic and eugenic (or biological based versus more environmentally related) depressions. i am very against antidepressants for me personally (as most have either had negative side effects or just not worked)-so is there anything i can do-one thing to note is this current depression was brought on due to finding out a girl i've been wanting and needing to date for 10 years is soon to be married-and i believe this person to be my soulmate(although i'm not necessarily sure i'm hers-yes, i know, i have had the argument many times that how can one be one's soulmate without the other being so too-i don't know, i just have a feeling much as i believe religious people have the feeling there must be a god, that she is mine). i want to join the air force reserves, so i'm not sure they would allow someone on antidepressants to join, is there a natural or other cure?
