A member asked:
Is it normal to lose a lot of muscle if you have depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle loss is not: a byproduct of depression but if your lifestyle changes and you are less mobile, not exercising, etc. it will lessen muscle tone. Try to keep active. "Feeling Good" is a book by David Burns about mood disorders and may be helpful. Peace and good health.
