Depression can manifest not only in emotional and mental symptoms but also in various physical ways that may often be overlooked. Common physical symptoms of depression include sleep disturbances, such as insomnia or oversleeping, which can indicate underlying health issues apart from depression. Fatigue, body aches, digestive problems, headaches, changes in appetite or weight, back pain, restlessness, sexual issues, and gastrointestinal discomfort are all potential physical manifestations of depression. Recognising these physical signs is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the impact of depression on both mind and body.
