depression symptoms stress symptoms

m now wondering if perhaps my symptoms are due to depression or are perhaps exacerbated because of depression. My question is can depression be a purely physical disease? In other words, can one have depression without feeling 'sad' emotionally? I've always been a happy, optimistic person. I have no other major stressors in my life, aside from my present illness. I'm a 30 y/o male with no history of any serious illness. I'm in good shape and have a good social life.

One of the symptoms of Hashimotos is depression. Often that is treated as an entirely separate issue and overlooked as a brain chemical reaction from the Hashi's. Often stress brings on the depression from the Hashi's! If you can avoid taking anti-depressants or anxiety pills then do so. You may not realise it but the anti-depressant actually causes the chemicals in the brain to become worse, not better!

He's a contractor and I have an eBay store and also do some cleaning. Our kids are a 15 year old girl, a 13 year old boy and a 8 year old boy. We also have a dog. So that's me in a nutshell. I lead a high stress life.

I have been told that my physical symptoms are likely to be due to depression and the lymphocytosis a result of having asthma. I have been taking antidepressants (60mg Duloxetine/ daily - for 12 months), although I stopped taking them 2 months ago as they had no effect on my symptoms. I don't know whether these symptoms are physical or psychological. Can depression cause the physical symptoms i've mentioned above? If so what can I do about it?

Do keep in mind that real, phycially based symptoms cause stress, and stress can then worsen symptoms. I am sure your father is just hoping to get you some peace of mind while your diagnosis is in the air. As for the neuro telling you about the symptoms of stress/depression, I would take her remarks under consideration, but why take them as the bottom line? Would you let the dentist diagnose a foot problem?

ve been starting to. I did not think depression or even allergies could be causing all these symptoms, but thankyou for causing alert and I will take them seriously and consider medications. As for acid reflux, my father has it and my sister has heartburn and all that. But they don't have the symptoms I have. I thought Acid reflux entailed burning pain in chest or I'm not really sure hah, I just don't see them with the same problems so I didn't think it would actually be that.

At the top of the forum index page there are two buttons - Warning signs of Depression and Symptoms of depression. The symptoms page follows the DSM (Diagnostic Statistical Manual) which is what pdocs used to diagnose mental illness. The other one, warning signs, covers DSM symptoms and a few more related signs which may or may not be present, like anxiety, irritability and alcohol use.

Yes to me this does sound like anxiety. We don't have to have full blown panic attacks for it to be anxiety. It can come with all different kinds of symptoms. Have you talked to your Dr about the stress you've been under? He's hearing about your symptoms and he may be a little stumped as to what they are and why you're having them. You have to talk to him about your stress. The only thing I know to recommend as far as therapy is a teaching college.

If you are experiencing those symptoms then the ideal test to take is a p24 combo at 4 weeks because this is when the p24 antigen is at it,s peak.However, because stress and anxiety symptoms can be similar to ARS symptoms then it has been established that only an Hiv test will determine one,s status and nothing else.I hope this will settle your axiety when i tell you that a p24combo test taken at 4 weeks is 99% accurate.

I have these exact same symptoms. I have seen two Dr's and both say it's stress and give me depression and anxiety pills but the pain is still there. I worry because my throat feels like it's closed up and it's hard to swallow. Sometimes I sound hoarse and I clear my throat a lot. Constantly grabbing my chest and by the end of the work day I just want to lay down for relief of the back and shoulder pain.

), I am very tired, have bits of depression. Are these symptoms or just the disease itself? I guess the question is this an episode or just minor things that MS cause. Is a person with MS tired all the time or just during episodes?

That doesn't sound, from your circumstances or some of the symptoms, to be depression. Perhaps you need to see your regular doctor.

Stress has a way of initially motivating and encouraging anxiety and depression. More stress makes it worse and eventually it will cause physical problems. Sorry, for the discouraging news. Just the way it seems to me now.

I am 45 years old with five children ranging from 19 to 26 and I have five grandchildren, whom I see as often as I can, ranging from age 9mos to 5 years old. I live with lots of stress, but always have in my life and it has always been that stress seems to drive me forward and not cause issues. All of my vital signs are normal. I eat a healthy diet and am trying to lose weight with calorie counting as my only method. I am at a plateau after losing 20lbs over the last three months.

s the right word) ... diagnosis to explain their entire body of symptoms, particularly when the symptoms cover multiple body systems. Some of the tests that are done in the course of diagnosing dysautonomia you've likely already had, owing to your other conditions.

I think that at least some , if not all of your symptoms are stress related. It must be difficult for you with both your parents so unwell. If at all possible you should take some time away from your "physically demanding job"and take a break. Learn some relaxation techniques and apply them. Don't let your doctor give you sedatives or antidepressants because these will only whitewash your symptoms and not address the root cause. Good luck and take care.

ve experienced that too. Anxiety and depression can sometimes go hand in hand. Many times, anxiety can lead to depression, as it did in my case. Everything you mentioned can be attributed to stress or anxiety. It's always important to cover the medical bases first. Maybe have some bloodwork done or have a checkup with your doctor. If everything looks alright, then maybe consider seeing a therapist once a week. It's done wonders for me, having someone to talk to about it.

Hair loss does not sound like depression, but then we are all different when it comes to the symptoms. Certainly irrability is a sign of depression, but then it could just be stress. Only a doctor can tell you this.
