Hey there,
Thank you for being a part of the Health Storylines community. You know that depression and anxiety have a big impact on your mental health, but did you know that they also have an impact on your physical health? If someone has ever told you “it’s all in your head”, you know they couldn’t be more wrong.
Depression and anxiety don’t just affect your moods, they can also affect your nervous system, digestive system, immune, and cardiovascular systems. Physical symptoms that arise from depression and anxiety can be difficult to manage, but it’s important to note when and how they affect you on your journey.
Though depression and anxiety are mental conditions, the physical symptoms are often overlooked. We encourage you to research on your own and speak to your doctor about how to manage your physical symptoms.
