  Absolutely, it is possible. I’m not sure about the depression, but it sounds plausible, depending on the experience. That’s out of my expertise, though. For a concrete example, phantom limb pain can be a form of affective emotional pain, with a huge asterisk in that, it’s more complicated that than only resulting from #2. Too complex to get into in this forum.

    In the case of phantom pains, one can point out "where on my body, what type (hot? cold? chemical?), and how intense is the noxious stimulus?". That's the sensory-discriminative component. It is just that limb is missing. One explanation is that brain stores the map of various limbs, etc.
