The Correlation between Depression, Inflammation and Pain

Patients with depression often experience inflammation and pain in conjunction. As your passionate Waukesha natural healthcare provider, it is important to Dr. Muth to evaluate your overall health and body chemistry as a whole to properly help treat and heal all variables of concern.

A recent peer-review report revealed a strong correlation between depression and inflammation. Results indicated many individuals with major depressive disorder, otherwise known as MDD, experiencing higher levels of suicidal ideation and attempts or suicide completion would typically have a significantly higher inflammatory index score. This is a composite score taking into consideration the inflammatory markers – tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF- α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and C-reactive protein (CRP).

Another recent study revealed symptoms of depression may manifest somatically as pain in some cases. This study examined individuals with metabolic syndrome and the correlation to increased leptin levels typical with metabolic syndrome with somatic depressive symptoms but not with cognitive depressive symptoms or total depressive symptoms. This study concluded leptin to be independently associated with somatic depressive symptoms for metabolic syndrome patients. This means depression can cause pain independent of an individual’s state of mind.
