I don't know about now, becuase I'm not depressed anymore. But when I was, I generally didn't feel well. I had random aches, frequent heaches, and just didn't feel like getting up. I didn't have the engery (because of depression) so I think that played a major role in how my body dealt with the stress.

I think it is a vicious cycle. If you get depressed your whole body hurts..that makes you more depressed..and so on and so on. Then if you get out and exercise..your body feels better..you are less depressed..and on and on.

Yes, it can affect many parts of the body. -
yeah... you lose your appetite when you're depressed so you lose a ton of weight. then your hair begins to fall out. then you get chest pains, joint pains and stuff.
-
Yes. Fatigue and stiff joints and muscles. But you should see a doctor if you've got any physical ailments, despite your feelings.

Just lethargy and not wanting to do much of anything. I have been through it. It really sucks. I have had friends and relatives who helped me out of it. It was because of the deaths of several close friends and relatives in a very short time. That can really bring you down. You feel life itself is coming to an end. That is when you really need help from those who care about you. Cultivate and keep many friends. Stay in contact with family. You will definitely need them at some time.
