Q: my depression feels like it's crushing me. is a heavy feeling common in depression ?

Depression &amp; Anxiety: are like two sides of a coin. Even though you report depression, you may also be anxious. The can account for the feeling you have. Please see your doc to rule out medical conditions. A mental health professional can help. Don't rely on medication only.
