A lot has been spoken about depression these days. Whether it is about how it feels or what medicines to have. However, very little is spoken about what bodily changes it causes. Depression is a mental condition however, it affects your body greatly. We ask Dr Anand Mishra, Internal medicine specialist from Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi says that physical changes do occur- but can be pretty subtle.
‘Depression is a common problem, especially in urban settings. The person may become very touchy and irritated leading to angry outbursts and may try to even harm himself or family members,’ said Dr Mishra.

  • If treatment is defaulted by the patient without clinicians advise there are chances of the condition becoming chronic where the patient may develop bouts of depression on stopping the medication.
  • Proper psyche evaluation.
  • Appropriate medical therapy for the depressive condition.
