Other researchers are studying the ways in which depression interferes with basic bodily processes, such as sleeping, sex drive, and weight control. Like the paralyzing sadness, which remains the most obvious manifestation of the mental illness, these symptoms are also byproducts of a brain that's literally withering away.Maybe that explains why I've put on weight, and lost my sex drive within the last few months. I have been quite depressed, afterall.
