#9 for Depression -- I'm having frequent headaches, stomach problems, muscle pain, or back problems.
I am having all of those problems. But how can this lead to depression?

It's sort of two sided. Chronic pain can lead to depression or the pain itself may be symptomatic of an already existing depression.

Exactly. Depression can also cause anxiety (or vice versa) which can cause muscle strain, irritable bowel, etc.

It also leads to increased blood pressure which can eventually lead to renal disease or heart disease. Anxiety and depression, left untreated CAN kill you.
