Stomach Pain

The sinking sensation in your abdomen is one of the most typical symptoms of depression or anxiety. However, many people often ignore this sign and think that it might be caused by menstrual pain or gas. In fact, many researchers believe that stomach discomfort such as nausea, bloating, and cramps would be indicative of poor mental conditions. These effects can be directly attributed to the association between depression and inflammation in the digestive system. [5]
