Signs and Symptoms of Addiction: Why Does Coffee or Caffeine Cause Depression and a Painful Feeling of Mental Slump for 10-12 Hours a Day?

Question by Simmi: Why does Coffee or Caffeine Cause Depression and a Painful Feeling of Mental Slump for 10-12 hours a day?
I’ve been an avid coffee drinker for over 17 years. But recently, coffee has been making my brain feel numb pretty much throughout the working day and optional shifts. What’s wrong with me? Or is it the coffee I’m drinking that’s causing this adverse reaction?

I get most of my beverages from my workplace or the local coffee shop. One of my colleagues who is into energy drinks too has been complaining of headaches of late. Could it be stress? Too much coffee? Late night work + red bull? I wonder what the reason could be.

Answer by Irene
if you have been drinking coffee for 17 years with no problems why assume it is the cause of your sudden depression and mental slump?

excessive caffeine does cause headaches so yes if your coworker is drinking red bulls and coffee and getting headaches they need to cut back.
