Depression when it's gotten to the point of debilitating and over a period of time truly has a grand effect on a persons entire physical structure. Immune system weakens, cortisol levels are through the roof, stress hormones, loss of the ability to feel pleasure, etc. It will age you faster, make you more susceptible to illnesses/diseases. Your entire body functions less effectively as a result. It's a near constant distraction aswell so it even makes you less intelligent due to the inability to pay attention and learn at maximum capacity. What truly makes depression so horrific is that it's one of the most common mental disorders and one of the highest contributors of death. Yet its one of the least focused subjects in the medical field and society tends to deem it as a choice and self deliberate weakness on the people effected by it.
So when people tell you it's all in your head and you will get over it.
It's not just all in the head and after a certain point in time if left untreated will leave permanent physiological and mental damage .
