It is very likely that those who have chronic back pain or intense back pain may be experiencing depression as well. But a study from the University of Alberta published in the journal Pain in 2004, by Dr. Linda Carroll, shows the reverse can be true as well. Dr Renny Edelson DC agrees with this conclusion. Depression can be a risk factor for the onset of severe neck and low-back pain. Dr. Carroll and her colleagues found that people, who suffer from depression, are four times more likely to develop intense disabling neck and low back pain than those who are not depressed.
Depression affects at least 8 million people in America, including FL, and evidence suggests that it may be caused by low levels of norepinephrine or serotonin (or maybe both) in the body.
A depressed person usually exudes the following signals of depression: unhappiness, grief, misery, and despair. Severe insomnia, a loss of appetite, and a decreased sex drive are among the other sides of depression. Often associated with all these is a state of psychomotor agitation despite the depression.
Some patients with mental depression in Ocala alternate between depression and mania, which is called either bipolar disorder or manic-depressive psychosis.
