Can you get sick from being down for a very long time?

sure its possible have you seen the commercials for cymbalta? folks get physically sick when they are mentally sick your friend needs help you can take her to a doctor or the ER or if shes not willing and you think she might hurt herself then call 911 and they can take her to the hopsital. I have seen folks with depression that's from traumatic events in their lives get better very quickly with medication and therapy
