I've read depression is also linked to chronic low level inflammation, and inflammation causes heat, I wonder if that's the reason?
Anecdotally I suffer with chronic depression and always seem warm.
Most likely, yes. Depression is also correlated with lower immune function, so I'd guess that's one of the ways it tries to compensate.
