People who have excruciating or chronic pain in the back could also be suffering from depression. The reverse can also occur – according to a study published by Dr. Linda Carroll at the University of Alberta in 2004, as well as Dr. Dennis Schone. Depression can lead to the occurrence of extreme neck pain and low-back pain. It was revealed through Dr. Carroll’s study that people afflicted with depression are four times more prone to develop disabling low back pain and neck pain than those who have not been diagnosed with depression.
Depression affects at least 8 million people in America, including OH, and evidence suggests that it may be caused by low levels of norepinephrine or serotonin (or maybe both) in the body.
Despair, unhappiness, misery, and grief are all common signs of a person who is experiencing depression. There are additional signs of depression such as severe insomnia and a decreased appetite and sex drive. Psychomotor agitation has also been attached to cases of depression.
Sometimes patients have mental depression in Pickerington and switch between depression and mania; this is called manic-depressive psychosis or bipolar disorder.
