Does depression slow down your physical body?

does depression slow down your body physically? you are not active and sharp.

Yes it does.

You don't feel like doing anything, so you don't and your metabolism slows down and you don't feel like doing anything......

By the same token, forcing yourself to become more active can help ease depression. You get more done and that feels good. Your metabolism increases and you have more energy. And that feels good. With intense physical activity, your body starts releasing endorphins, the "Feel Good" hormones. The more active you become, the better you feel. And before you know it, you won't have to force it.

In severe cases, exercise can't entirely replace anti-depressants. But high activity levels should always be part of your management program.

It depends what kind of depression you have and where it stems from, some people feel like they have more energy, whereas some feel like they have none.
It can work both ways, any sort of depression needs to be treated with the right kind of mental stimulation and or medication.

Yes. One of the greatest things ever told me by my Psychologist is: I know you don't want to do anything, because, you say you can't but your brain knows you CAN. Do not slow down stay busy it will help your mind.
