I tend to get depressed when I am sick, too. I think it is likely that psychological factors and/or physical factors contribute to this. My observations of myself are that when sick, my body/brain lose energy and vitality, which can feel like depression. On top of that is the frustration I feel because I am slowed down, unable to focus, etc., because of the cold or other illness, and the subsequent tendency to interpret that as a sign of character weakness. But I really do think there is biochemical process that makes me feel depressed when ill, even if I do not make those psychological interpretations.
