Answers:

Depression can magnify the pain of other things.
It doesn't cause new pain, just makes other pains feel worse, maybe some that you wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

Anything for treating pain should work for that symptom of depression. Or just find something that works for your depression better.Health Question & Answer
