In Reply to: depression, how many of you suffer from this? posted by cher on November 30, 2000 at 17:04:28:
pain... without relief, without treatment that works effectively, continued and chronic pain... discouragement... that easily leads into depression. It's hard to keep upbeat when your skull feels like it is in a high speed meat grinder... and after awhile, not being able to even smile does cause the brain to begin creating chemicals which will cause depression... so even when a person is out of cycle or in remission.. living with the fear is enough to keep a depressed state of mind, hence the depressive chemicals being released...
