Very simply put depression causes inflammation in your body which in turn feeds back to the poor state of your neurotransmitters. Not to even talk about the lack of nutrients your body suffers from and what effects those have, because being depressed affects your appetite, which is determined by hormones.
If I would put you in a prison cell and feed you piss poor food without proper vitamins and whatnot, you would get depressed. Even if you had all the best coping mechanisms and enjoyed meditating 18 hours a day while exercising, it wouldn’t take more than a month or two for the simple lack of nutrients to start fucking up your nervous system. You wouldn’t be able to exercise or sleep properly and would definitely get depression.
This Wiki-page is mostly about the brain, not the rest of the body. But you are right that there is a close relation between body and brain. Following article explains some dependencies.

Well, OBJECTIVELY, depression is just in your head 😁
So is brain cancer. Doesn’t help
It’s not though.

So kindly stop it with that bs
Depression is a state of mind, not a physical illness. So yes, it is in your head, as much as any mental illness.
“A state of mind”
Back to school with you, kiddo

The brain is a part of the body, this is like saying “There’s a close relation between finger and hand.”
