Could hurting and being in pain all the time be a sign of depression?

Maybe: And if you are asking this question for yourself, definitely. There's nothing wrong with just seeing someone and being evaluated. Just once, just answering some questions, spilling the beans, as it were, and seeing what a professional thinks. We really are here to help. We don't medicate everyone. Therapy alone helps lots of people. Some treatment is short-term, some longer. Just ask. Be well. : ).
