Symtoms of Depression?

Posted by crissy on February 20, 2001, at 9:33:19

I recently was diagnosed with depression. My symptoms are chronic headaches, sensations in my arms and legs, and an extreme fear of dying. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms. I just would like another opinion.

Hmmm......depression? Has the sound of anxiety to me. Were those all of your symptoms?

Hi,
What kind of sensations in your arms and legs? There is an atypical presentation of depression (most commonly associated with bipolar) where patients complain of 'leaden' arms and legs. The headaches can be indicative of a lot of illnesses. As far as the fear of dying, I agree with Noa, sounds more anxiety related. Although depression and anxiety often present together. Take care- Judy
