I'd not be surprised: I expect that you could have posed the question about a wide range of maladies and the probability would be true too. Being depressed makes almost anything else more awful - even good things. This is one of the best reasons to get depression treated. I have a feeling that you agree.

Depression : Depressed people often feel physical illnesses in a more poignant manner than someone who is not depressed. Depression affects your immune system and people who are depressed tend to have more colds than those that are not suffering from this difficulty. My best.
