Not long ago I heard something on tv about depression causing a person to get physically sick. It just briefly mentioned this as being a sometimes symptom of depression, but did not elaborate.

For quite a long time now, I periodically get symptoms not like other times when I'm sick. Not coughing or congested. Totally different symptoms. It usually only lasts one day and is gone after I get a good night's sleep. For awhile now I've been thinking it is related to stress. Until this week, it had never lasted more than one day. However, I've been off my antidepressant for about 6 weeks. Finally crashed about a week ago and right at that same time, my physical symptoms returned and this time they have not gone away. It's been about a week of feeling this way. So anyway, I'm wondering if anyone here has information on this subject. I'd like to know if it's true that depression can produce physical illness and, if so, what those symptoms are. Thanks in advance. And btw, I've been back on my antidepressant for a few days now.
