Pains and Aches
Physical pains and aches are one of the most common yet overlooked symptoms of mood disorder in many people. If you often have stomach issues, headaches, backaches and other pains without a clear reason, it might indicate this health issue. This is because mental conditions affect some brain areas that are responsible for controlling your pains. Elderly people are usually at a higher risk due to a weakened cognitive function. Sometimes, those physical problems might be triggered by some major events, such as loss of friends or failure in work or study. [4]
