I touched my head and i felt a big bump what do you think? btw i do suffer from depression and anxiety , could it be linked?

Trauma or Cyst: The bump on your head could be the result of banging it against something or it could be a scalp cyst, sometimes called a wen. If it's big enough to bother you have it checked by a doctor. It might require simple removal. If not, wait and see if it goes away. The anxiety may magnify your response to the bump, but I doubt one caused the other. Keep the area clean.
