I’m sorry if you’re feeling depressed. I don’t know if it’s a symptom or not but it can definitely be something thing that comes up as a result of having MS.

Absolutely related. Can be temporary, circumstantial or a long term issue. Don't let the stigma of having it hold you back. Seek help and get it under control. First 2 years being diagnosed are often very hard. Remember to grieve for your old self! I'm a large fan of Genesite testing. Once my methylation disorder became treated my depression was finally controlled for the first time in over 25yrs. L-methyl folate is a critical supplement for me but with my doctors testing and guidance. It falls under issues with the mthfr gene that affects my dysautonomia too.

I think it is. I got so depressed, I ended up going to a psych ward. Now I'm on Sertraline. That helps me stay in reality.
