Can depression cause physical pain?

February 12th, 2015

I've been fighting depression for about 4 years now...almost 5. and Recently when it kicks in bad, I get chest pains that feel as though something is stuck in there. Like a big pill. Except obviously I didn't take anything. It doesn't go away until I'm calmer.

Yes, depression can totally cause physical pain it's normal. But obviously doesn't feel good at all. I strongly suggest trying out different coping strategies so you can relax and be more calm, that way the physical pain isn't so harsh.
