Physical Symptom of Depression
Physical symptoms associated with depression can occur in any part of the body and can include:
*Pain (headache, backache)
*Gastrointestinal problems (nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation)
*Neurologic complaints (dizziness, numbness, memory problems)
*Sexual disorder (lack of desire, failure of orgasm)
*General complaints of feeling unwell and heavy, as of one’s feet are stuck in mud.
The physical complaints of depressed patients cannot be overlooked because many studies indicate an increased risk of real physical illness in people who have severe forms of depression.
The reason for this are unclear.
