It lowers your immune system so youre more vulnerable to diseases. So it plays a part in it making you ill.



Hello,

Um, yes it can make you very ill.
i know from my personal life, i have clinical depression.
It only gets worse for me if i stay on my own in my room witch i feel more safer.
and if you don't talk to anybody, i never did because my mum and dad and family never knew.
i became more and more ill, it started off with 3 overdose's.
and ever since then i got worse and worse i lost my food i never wanted to eat because i thought i was fat and people told me that, i weight 5 and a half nearly 6 stone. So, that made me worse.
I had jokes about my overdose i lost all my friends and i thought i had no room left to build my self up like i normally did. They found out i had bipolar, so that made it a bit worse! :/ so i had anxiety attacks. I didn't eat, drink, go out of my room, never talked to anybody, cried, never ever left the house. then one min i was happy and on top of the worse.
But still now, i got a look on my all the time and i stressed my self out where i started to hear things. so it made everything a lot lot worse. So yes, it can make you very ill depending on how bad your depression is.

Well it really depends how depressed you are. If you are depressed over stress or a small issue the worst that could happen is that you might get a fever and experience tiredeness.


If its something big like heartbreak or worse, then I would say it could make you insane, it could make your body do things you have no control over (like suicide). And you could experience hair loss, fatigue, blurry sight, and so on. *IF YOU'RE EXPERIENCING THIS KIND OF DEPRESSION, GO SEE A COUNSELOR OR A DOCTOR*



Yes; any mental issues can lead to physical symptoms, which can show up as almost any symptoms - it all depends on the person and when and where they are. Physical symptoms can also lead to mental symptoms with the same unpredictability.
