People with depression often experience physical changes in the brain that can spread to other parts of the body. These modifications can cause a variety of pain and other discomforts. You may also have difficulty sleeping. If the symptoms of depression are exacerbated by lack of rest, these medications will only make it worse.

2. You're more likely to have a heart attack or stroke

Depression leaves you exhausted and frustrating to do simple tasks like getting up and taking a shower. You might even struggle to think straight. The good news is that depression can be treated with medication and psychological therapy. Finding the right treatment can help you get your life back on track. Today we'll talk to your doctor about some helpful treatments.

3. More likely to attempt suicide

If you suffer from depression, it is important to seek professional help. Treatment can not only make you feel better, but it can also prevent suicide attempts. Treatment can also teach you coping skills, strengthen connections with family and friends, and give you new resources to deal with the stress that leads to depression.

4. There is a high chance that you will die

People with depression are more likely to develop other illnesses, such as heart disease. They may also find it more difficult to adhere to medications and treatments. Although the cause is unknown, depression can make it harder to cope with illness and make healthy living decisions. Early treatment of depression is crucial. Symptoms usually improve over time with psychotherapy (talk therapy) and antidepressants.
