I believe we all know the serious consequences of depression, and knowing what it will bring to us, we should have a basic understanding of it, especially for some typical signs of depression must be clear, for example, we have pain in our body may also be depression is coming. If you are depressed for more than two weeks in a row, you should be alert and seek medical attention. So, is being unhappy depression? Not necessarily. But the following kinds of pain, but is likely to be a sign of depression. 1, abdominal pain and other digestive problems The intestine has about 500 million neurons, known by neurologists as the second brain. In fact, the intestinal cells make 80% to 90% of the body’s 5-hydroxytryptamine (a messenger that produces pleasant emotions), more than the brain produces. Therefore, if you have poor digestion, accompanied by depression and anxiety, the intake of probiotics beneficial to intestinal health may help relieve some symptoms of depression and anxiety. 2, migraine headaches Cincinnati, USA, Dr. Lisa Neurology? Mannix said that as many as 40% of migraine sufferers are accompanied by depression. There is strong evidence that migraines are associated with various psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety disorders, etc. A 2009 study at the University of Manitoba in Canada showed that 11% of migraine sufferers suffer from one or more mood disorders, such as depression and panic disorder. 3. Chest pain Chest pain is often a precursor to cardiovascular disease, especially acute heart attacks. And a large number of studies have revealed a close correlation between depression and cardiovascular disease. Chest pain and rapid heartbeat is likely to be one of the symptoms of anxiety and depression. A study in Circulation, the leading journal of cardiovascular medicine, also found that patients with heart failure who suffered from moderate or severe depression were four times more likely to die prematurely and had double the risk of hospitalization than the general population. Even with only mild depression, patients had a 60 percent increased risk of death. Depression can also have a cardiovascular impact. Recent studies have shown that depression and anxiety can affect heart rate, leading to increased blood pressure, higher insulin and cholesterol levels, and higher levels of stress hormone levels. 4, joint pain Some studies have shown that patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (a type of rheumatic disease) are 3.4 times more likely to suffer from depression than usual. It is easy to understand that chronic joint pain tends to lead to depression, and it hurts to climb stairs and bend over. …… No wonder people’s moods are consistently low. Joint inflammation, joint cartilage damage may also be a sign of depression. 5, back pain Back pain is a common symptom in patients with anxiety and mood disorders. Although there is no direct scientific data to support this claim, but from daily experience, when you are depressed, often show people with a low posture of head and shoulders, which will cause back and neck pain in the long run. Of course, physical pain does not necessarily mean depression is coming, but if confirmed by a doctor, I hope you can face it with the right mindset and methods.
