Blue Phoenix Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Just wondering if depression can lead to other sicknesses like colds and complete loss of apitite/weight loss..??
sb129 Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Definitely. When I was depressed I lost loads of weight because my appetite disappeared. And then the antidepressants I was on made me lose even more because they suppressed my appetite. I slept badly too. My skin was awful, I looked and felt terrible. If you aren't sleeping or eating well, you are likely to be more susceptible to coughs and colds yes.
Motor35 Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Depression can also bring on panic and/or anxiety attacks. And I agree with SB. Depression can affect your body so badly that sickness is common along with sleeplessness and loss (or gain) of weight.
