Depression is manifested both physically and emotionally. The classic physical signs of depression are headaches, fatigue, digestive problems, hyperactivity, sleeping disorders, loss of concentration, and distorted eating patterns.
Chemicals imbalances in the brain can also be either the cause or effect of depression. Dopamine is the chemical that produces anxiety, stress, nervousness, and aggression. When the level of dopamine is ELEVATED, a person may develop feelings of insecurity, paranoia, and fear. Serotonin is another important chemical in the brain that can affect a person's mental well-being.
A person with LOW serotonin levels displays mood swings, and some sort of compulsion, such as alcoholism, overeating, or being a workaholic, perfectionist, or procrastinator.
Best ways to beat depression is Diet, Exercise, Supplements or Therapy.
Its essential to get the B-complex vitamins, since they work together to balance proper brain functioning.

Some exercise could help out here. Music, a movie, a book. It's on you as to whether or not you want to be depressed and for how long. I hope you get over the depression. Many blessings and well wishes to you. Merry Christmas.

since it's been little things building up, i would highly recommend exercise. it releases serotonin and dopamine in the brain...the "feel good" hormones. and you will release the stress that's storing up in your organs too. i take anti-depressants for my diagnosed clinical depression, but exercise still really helps me too. best of luck...i hope you feel better soon. i wish you a peaceful and prosperous new year!!
