sadness is your bodies way of telling you that something is wrong. its natural. however, sometimes our hormone levels get out of whack and we dont learn to cope with the situations at hand. in essense, our sadness turns into an uncontrollable sadness that turns into depression. its unhealthy...and begins to affect everything including both your brain and your body. if you are suffering from depression..please seek therapy. it can change your life for the better. good luck :-)Health Question & Answer

If you are talking about physical pain then it is because it is a part of the disease process for depression. Depression at this level is an imbalance of the hormones in your system and affects not only your thinking by your physicality as well.

If you are talking about mental or emotional pain this is because your thinking process recognizes that it is out of whack and this causes emotional dissonance which can be painful because it is not in line with your normal thought process.

Either way it is a disorder or disease depending on the severity. Anything past two weeks or so is a disorder. Anything past a month or so is a disease. You will need to seek medical advice is you are not willing or able to do the mental self cleaning necessary to disperse the thought process or the chemical imbalance.

To do the mental self cleaning can take several different routes. Some people embrace their religion and take heart and soul into their beliefs and implore the powers that they believe in to relieve them of the burden.

Another option is to find healing through spiritual writings. People that I have found helpful include Dr. Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, and Louise Hayes. Reading their books or listenting to their cd's can be very helpful in finding the way to improved mental health. Because our mental health is tied to our spiritual strength and if our spirit is buried under the yammering nonsense that has been spoon fed to us all our lives then it makes it really hard to be healthy.

Another way to reduce depression is to get lots of fresh air and sunshine. Eat nutritious meals, get lots of good sleep. Avoid trash on the TV and internet and look for the beauty in anything you see. Nature never gets depressed and we can take a clue from it. If you have people in your life that are a constant source of stress consider removing them from your life for a while or forever...which ever works best for you. Declutter your life any way you need to whether it be with too many of the wrong people, too much of material things in your life, a messy house whatever might be a source that can overwhelm and lead to depression.

Depression is a messy thing in life and it hurts.Health Question & Answer

It hurts because there probably is a weak foundation somewhere. Everyone gets depressed, but if you have a faith in something, it usually can help to buffer other aspects. Not always I realize, but it helps. Don't always rely on self-help books, rely on one true source of truth, not the worlds every changing concept of truth and what is right and wrong.

Good luck to you.Health Question & Answer
