Lower Pain Tolerance
Have you ever feel excruciating pain on your nerves or muscles but cannot find out any physical causes? This is probably because it is caused by your mental illness. Many studies have shown a direct association between depression and lower pain tolerance. These conditions would affect some brain areas that are responsible for controlling your pain sensation. Also, taking some anti-depressants would bring some analgesic effects. Over time, they will make your body lose the capability to combat pain naturally. That’s why you might feel pain easily with higher levels of intensity. [3]
