Leaden Paralysis is a symptom of feeling heavy and weighed down like your limbs and body feel like they are so weighed down by the state of depression that it may seem 'impossible' to move or get around in a physical manner. It is common in depressive illness. It is also very common in atypical depression, which actually much more typical than what was once thought.
Hope that helps
