  Yes, it is likely to get dark circles for a period of depression time because when in a depressed mood, the flowing speed of blood venous blood is slow, in this way, the blood cell of the skin of ocular region cannot supply enough oxygen and the carbon dioxide and waste materials of metabolization in the venous blood accumulate, forming chronic oxygen deficit, as a result, the blood stagnates and cause the disposition of pigment of ocular region. You should get rid of the depressed mood as soon as possible and keep yourself relaxed. You can do appropriate aerobic exercises, which not only can help you relax yourself but also promote blood circulation and help reduce dark circles. Wish you happy everyday.

  Well, as far as I know, the truth is , depression would simply not give rise to dark circle under eyes. Actually, dark circles are primarily derived from irregular life and bad habbits, such as burning the mid-night oil, a lack of sleep, or too much sleep. Therefore, you need to find out the possible reasons. However, depression could indirectly impact and lead to dark circles, thus, you also need to be happy and optimistic about everything granted by life and destiny. Good luck!
