HealthDay (http://tinyurl.com/depression-pain 11/3, Preidt) reported that, according to a study published online Oct. 15 in Psychosomatic Medicine, “depressed people tend to report more physical symptoms than they actually experience.” Researchers evaluated “109 women who completed questionnaires designed to assess their levels of neuroticism and depression.” Three weeks later, the investigators found that women “who had a higher depression score at the start of the study were more likely to overstate the frequency of their symptoms.”
