It doesn’t mean that they are imagining it. Why is it hard to see that the organ that controls the whole body has a say into pain/inflammation, and all that? It can send my heart rate to the sky before a presentation, make my stomach ready for digestion on the sight of a billboard, etc.

I don’t know, the reverse that mental diseases don’t cause physical symptoms seems harder to believe.

It all just shows that we don’t take mental health seriously enough.

You are mistaking Stress perhaps with depression. It is 99% more likely that a physical problem is the root problem and that is causing the depression. Thats what depression is. Something is wrong with your body and your brain is sad about it. You dont just get depressed for no reason and then your body breaks for no reason from that depression.

Your brain is part of your body, so that’s a fairly tautological claim.
