It does? I should be an old, hunched-over wreck by now.

However, depressed people are not out having fun in the skin-damaging sun and weather elements, so they won't look as aged as happier people.

Wow, what a choice - stay depressed and die young or be happy and look old?

My experience is the exact opposite... if this person I know is being aged because of depression then without it she would probably look 20 years younger than her age.
