Why do I feel so lethargic and achey?
• A: One way of looking at this is that the body expresses our moods. When you are feeling hopeful and excited about life, you tend to have more energy. When you are feeling sad or depressed, your energy level drops off. Depression can also cause physical symptoms like body aches, stomachaches, headaches, joint pain and low back pain. It’s important to first meet with your doctor to rule out any physical illness before determining that your body pain is part of your depression.
