Aim:The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between physical complaints and depression symptoms in right and left handed individuals. Method: In this causal study, 120 female students with an average age of 25 years and 5 months were selected, of which 60 were right hands and 60 left handed. Left-handed people were available in the right hands, and right-handed men were selected randomly from the classes that were selected by the left-handed. Right and left-handed students were divided into two groups: depressed and unconfirmed. Beck Depression Inventory, General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), Edinburgh Hand Overweight Questionnaire, and researcher-made physical complaints assessment were used to collect information. For data analysis, binomial logistic regression was used. Findings: Findings showed that the score of physical signs of right-handed and left-handed hands is significantly related to physical complaints from the left side of the body. Also, this study showed that there is no significant difference between the depression score and the physical signs of right-handed and left-handed individuals. Conclusion: Regarding the high prevalence of physical complaints in the left side of the body, in depressed right and left handed students, the presence of these complaints on the left side of the body was considered as a symptom of depression.
