5. Depression
Depression is a health condition on its own, and it affects thousands of people worldwide; it’s the one health condition that really doesn’t discriminate, and it can affect anyone at any point for any amount of time. While it’s true that depression is considered a standalone health condition, it can also be considered a symptom just as much – and if you have been experiencing more frequent episodes of depression, it’s important that you make an appointment with your doctor and find the cause.
Depression is associated with a huge percentage (if not the majority) of MS cases because of the lesions a hormonal changes that go along with the condition – and if it’s been affecting you, make an appointment before the symptoms of your condition worsen or start to overwhelm you.
Whether it’s a condition on its own or a symptom of another, depression can be managed with the right medication and coping techniques.
