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.

“Science” is what gave us lobotomies, eugenics, and leaded gasoline. “Science” is what pathologized autism and homosexuality. Blindly trusting anything labeled as “science” is dangerous. Nobody is “dismissing” science here, FelixCress is just being skeptical, which they have every right to do.
I’m saying we know for a fact how depression affects your entire body.
“FelixCress is just being skeptical”
No, they’re not. They’re like a flat earther. They have absolutely no idea even of the basics of psychiatry.
This is why Trump won. People like you defending people like him. Not all opinions are equal.
You’re making an argument about skepticism, but you trust a guy who doesn’t have sources and doesn’t reason his “it’s just in your head” bullshit?
So anyone can claim literally anything they want and if anyone dares point out how we actually do know for a fact the Earth isn’t flat, you’ll get mad and start blaming those people for eugenics while defending some dipshit as “just skeptic” who’s claiming the Earth is pancake shaped.
Fucking hell it’s depressing just how strong the antiscience culture is.
Are you arguing just for the sake of argument? Nobody is denying that depression affects your entire body. If you’re depressed, you’re less motivated to get exercise, and insufficient exercise causes changes in your entire body. That’s just one example. Do you really need a source to tell you that?
What the hell does trump have to do with this? What the hell is “antiscience culture”? Trump won because the majority of electoral votes were cast for him. Do you even know what the word “skepticism” means? If you’re skeptic against claim X, that doesn’t mean you automatically trust claim NOT X. You can be skeptical about both. Skepticism just means not accepting a claim is true until there is evidence that supports it. You know, like kind of like the scientific method.
Well, OBJECTIVELY, depression is just in your head 😁
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.”

You’re literally dismissing the science and saying “I know better and depression isn’t a disease”.
So I’d agree there is a moron in this conversation, definitely.
“Science” is what gave us lobotomies, eugenics, and leaded gasoline. “Science” is what pathologized autism and homosexuality. Blindly trusting anything labeled as “science” is dangerous. Nobody is “dismissing” science here, FelixCress is just being skeptical, which they have every right to do.
“Blindly trusting science”
No-one is blindly trusting science.

And I already explained how you’re wrong — with sources.
