Does depression physically hurt?

Yes, depression can physically hurt and it can make you physically sick or worsen a conditon that may already exist. Don't let it consume your life, seek reliable, professional help. Don't just go to a general practitioner and recieve a anti-depressent, go to a head doc, a shrink, whatever you prefer to call them. Fix the problem not just the symptoms or they will return. Don't live in darkness. I could write a book about living in the dark rooms of depression manor.....but I won't.

i think depression can have physical effects as well. it's happened to me. ive been really depressed since about march. since then, ive been sick on and off, ive had heart problems, i get headaches almost every day, and im always really tired. depression isnt just in the mind.
