Is it possible to die from depression?


Is it possible to die from depression?

No
but it will eventually lead to killing your self

well the obvious answer is from suicide.
but there's more to this.
people (and animals, believe it or not) can actually die from sadness. they end up grieving themselves to death. especially with animals. if they get sad enough, they lose all will to live.
also, if you're that sad you just won't care enough, and you wont look out for danger, like a passing car. you might walk through a bad neighborhood because you just stopped caring about yourself, you're so sad. this is called subconscious suicide.
depression tears your body down. it makes you feel awful all over, and in bad cases you can stop sleeping, eating, and taking care of yourself, and in the most extreme cases that can lead to death.
it's also been reported that depression can make you more susceptible to diseases like cancer.
depression can also lead to anxiety, which could, in an extreme case, lead to a heart attack.
actually, when you're depressed, your immune system let down on their guards and hence you become susceptible to attacks. this is what is called 'mental euthanasia'. once you lose the will to live, you will believe that your time is coming up too for you and you'll begin to neglect your own needs and die.

unfortunately, yes. some people do kill themselves. others suffer their lives through just miserable. either way is sad. obviously, don't let depression go untreated. it's a tragedy, nobody deserves to be let suffer because of a mental problem, much less let to kill themselves! Get help for yourself or anyone else if you are aware they are suffering from depression or another psychiatric problem like OCD.

You cannot die from "depression". However, it can lead to suicide. If you feel you are going to die from depression you need to seek help.

Other than suicide it can causes stomach problems as well and also lead to you being overly stressed.

Yes, although suicide isn't the only way. You could just lose the will to live and slowly waste away if no one intervenes.

YES... it can lead to suicide. If you or anyone you know is suffering from depression, seek help!

yea of course deppresion leads to mental illnes and urge to hurt yourself or others [[may lead to suicide]]

Yes.
It is possible to die from a broken heart.
