Define what inner child means to you, CelestialHorse. The term probably means different things to different people. To me it means the real me before I learned how to fake being an adult by following the accepted rules of civilized adult behavior.

Not exactly sure what you are asking CelestialHorse - can you be more specific?
I'll take it from a different angle, what do you mean by "cause." There are many different causes for depression such as a chemical imbalance, shock, incorrect emotional habits or simply being a square peg in a round hole. Emotional immaturity ("inner child?") can also be a factor in contributing to depression. Treatments are just as diverse as the number of patients.
If may be so bold, and I'm talking sufferer to sufferer here, it seems a futile exercise to come up with this or that "reason," pinning all hopes on it as though that would fix anything. Inner child especially, in this context, sounds like something a second grade rural New Age columnist for a supermarket flyer would come up with as "the cause of depression," and probably suggest positive thinking, The Secret (now on sale in aisle two!) and an assorted mishmash of other half-baked theories. Believe me when I say I understand hopelessness, but this isn't the way. You're better than this.
What helped me overcome my depression is that I really didn't. I had to be homeless for a year to understand that in my own situation, depression was a luxury I couldn't afford, medication, working out and simply growing out of it. These things probably don't apply to you, but one thing is positive; you need more than catch-phrases.
