How depression affects the body?
Weight gain or loss
Depression is also commonly seen in patients with other health conditions, such as anorexia and other eating disorders. People suffering from depression can experience weight gain or weight loss due to their condition or the medications that treat them. Depression and anxiety can both be associated with more food, poor food choices, and a more sedentary lifestyle. Over time, weight gain can eventually lead to obesity.
Tiredness
A state of depression that can make one feel tired even after a good night's sleep. Depression, low energy levels, and many symptoms, such as loneliness, weakness, and dizziness can further exacerbate fatigue. Depression makes you tired, fatigue may make you feel more uncontrolled and unwell.
Pain
There is pain in depression. And while we often associate this mental illness with emotional pain such as grief, feelings of hopelessness and crying, research sources suggest that depression can also manifest as physical pain. While we often do not perceive depression as physical pain, some cultures do so specifically, where it is "forbidden" to talk openly about mental health.
Sleep problems
People suffering from depression may find it difficult to sleep at night and stay asleep. They may also get excessive sleep during the day or sleep too much. At the same time, sleep problems can exacerbate depression, causing a negative cycle between depression and sleep that can be challenging to break down.
Immunity
Depression can weaken the immune system and increase susceptibility to the disease. And at the same time depression and stress have a negative effect on the immune system, which can make you vulnerable to infections and diseases and make it difficult for your body to fight the infection.
