Body Pain as a Physical Symptom of Depression
Body pain from exertion is fairly easy to identify. It is different than a physical symptom of depression.
If you work at a computer or desk all day and come home with a sore neck, it is from the exertion of having your body in the same position all day long.
The most common physical complaint from people suffering from chronic depression is also chronic pain, the unending pain that seems to follow you everywhere, and puts a wedge between you and having fun.

Depression Help - Depression does not discriminate: Age and Gender in Depression
Depression does not discriminate: Age and Gender in Depression
Because it is misunderstood, childhood depression is often misdiagnosed. Childhood depression goes far beyond just being sad. A depressed child loses interest in things they normally enjoy doing, wants to be alone and rarely laughs aloud.
Depression in teenagers/adolescents is pretty common. Teenage girls are at higher risk of becoming depressed than boys. Depressed teens tend to exhibit anti-social behavior and many abuse drugs, alcohol and/or smoke.
Depression later in life is not easily identified because many diseases that affect the elderly mask the symptoms of depression. Unlike in other age groups, older persons (over 60) suffer from depression are more likely to commit or try to commit suicide.

The Depression Diet: Fight Depression Through Eating Right!
The depression diet does not include chocolate.
Women will tell you that chocolate is the cure for depression diets. While eating chocolate will increase your sense of well being for a little while, the sugar crash, when it hits, is often more of a downer than the initial high was to begin with.
The depressed diet includes caffeine, processed sugars, deficiencies in vitamin B, and allergies to certain types of foods. Refined sugars and the treats from the snack machine can aggravate an already depressed system.
