I didn’t have the slightest idea that depression would cause inflammation. All I knew was people would get dark circles under their eyes due to depression. More reasons to stay well away from depression I guess… :)

I have witnessed many family members struggle with depression although thankfully I have never experienced it for myself. I see what a huge toll dealing with depression places on the body so it does not surprise me one bit to read that there are things going on in your body when you are depressed that you do not think about or even know about. The last thing I am sure that is on your mind when you are depressed is whether or not internally your body is respoonding with the production of inflammatory proteins. maybe this is a defense mechanism or just another way that the body breaks down when depression steps in.

It has been long said that depression causes a lot of problems, not only at the emotional level but also physically. This should be conveyed to people who are under depression and hopefully will encourage them to seek help and get out of their depressive environment.

Yes, depression does a lot of harm, not only in the psychological sense, but also in the physical sense… you don’t see people who are sad and under depression looking attractive, do you? It is quite natural as there are several things that are pulling the person down and hence the ill-effects.

Depression is dangerous territory as there always seems to be a negative associated to it and weakening the individuals under depression…
