Depression and Back Aches

It has been shown that people who have been experiencing back pain for an extended period of time may also be depressed. According to a study by Dr. Linda Carroll from the University of Alberta, depression could also lead to back pain as well. Dr Nadeem Bajwa DC thinks the same. Severe neck and low-back pains can develop due to depression. It was revealed through Dr. Carroll’s study that people afflicted with depression are four times more prone to develop disabling low back pain and neck pain than those who have not been diagnosed with depression.

A diminished formation or serotonin, or both, has been linked to the onset of depression, which affects at least 8 million in the United States, along with those in WA.

Common symptoms among people dealing with depression include misery, unhappiness, grief, and despair. On top of this, depression causes a loss in appetite and sex drive, as well as an increased inability to sleep. Often related to depression, though, is a psychomotor agitation.

Patients in Seattle sometimes have bipolar disorder or manic-depressive psychosis, where their depression alternates with mania.
