May 19, 2006Depression Increases In MS PatientsStop the press! Here's an account of a study claiming that depression increases in MS patients and that that may help in understand depression in a more general population. I have a hard time believing that this even merited publication, but whatever. One of the two suicides I know of and which I could understand and approve of involved a young woman I vaguely knew many years ago in San Diego. She was 25 and already had great difficulty standing due to MS. Wheelchair bound at 27, she overdosed on pills. Depression in MS patients is hardly news.

There are many indignities that come with having MS, loss of body functions, etc. Exactly, depression is one symtom that is not surprising. Posted by: Stephany at May 19, 2006 02:01 AMthe other week I was so angry. I was just so incredibly angry. I would lie in bed and think of how I wanted to throw the huge chess set at my doctor. And then, one night, I took the drawers of my desk and slammed them down on the floor, shattering them. My dad got so mad. But I was mad too. But now, I don't feel so angry anymore. It's all good.
