Haven't you read about someone who goes to the doctor for something like high cholesterol and says oh yea, I feel tired. No psychological complaints. The doctor suspects depression. So depression can be *just* physical and not psychological? (Yes, beneath the surface of every normal individual is a psychological drama of some sort. That's a given.)
Then a *depressed person* experiences chronic fatigue. Well, you know... say the doctors, that's depression.
What's depression?
I still spend too much time lying down, even when there are things I want to do. Yes. I have interests now. I thought that was a positive sign. And true, I'm not in bed crying or thinking painful thoughts.
Does anyone have any ideas about physical manifestations of depression?
I am confused :(
MDD currently controlled. C-ptsd and comorbid health concerns. Chronic fatigue.
