It is well documented that people with intense back pain or long standing back pain may experience depression. According to a study by Dr. Linda Carroll from the University of Alberta, depression could also lead to back pain as well. Dr Israel Villasenor DC thinks the same. Depression can be a risk factor for the onset of severe neck and low-back pain. In her studies, Dr. Carroll found that debilitating neck and back pains were four times more likely to develop in people who are feeling depressed than those who are not.
Studies suggest that depression has been attributed to the under-production of norepinephrine or serotonin, or both, and affects over 8 million people in the United States, NV inclusive.
Despair, unhappiness, misery, and grief are all common signs of a person who is experiencing depression. In addition to the signs of depression, they lose their appetite and sex drive and have severe insomnia. Often related to depression, though, is a psychomotor agitation.
Some patients with mental depression in Henderson alternate between depression and mania, which is called either bipolar disorder or manic-depressive psychosis.
