5 Terrifying Evils Of Depression
When we talk about depression, we usually think of the most common, or so-called, traditional symptoms, such as: loss of appetite and energy, headaches, weight gain or loss, and changes in habits Sleep or hygiene.

2. The dreaded Parkinson
The brain chemistry of a depressed person directly damages the gray matter, and affections as serious and tragic as Parkinson’s disease appear as a result of damage to the brain lobe.
3. High blood pressure
Again, all the ups and downs in the moods that are generated by the depression, end up seriously damaging our organism. High blood pressure gradually destroys the blood vessels of the kidneys, which will later lead to kidney failure.
4. Weakening of the immune system

The same happens with depression and the immune system: the depressive person begins to become sick more often, from one thing or another, first simple viral issues, until they get to get diseases of which the body no longer has the strength Enough to overcome.
5. Suicide and homicide
Perhaps these are the most frightening situations that depression can cause a person:
