> Did Jerry continue on meds? Had meds helped him at all? Does it have an effect on thyroid disease. My old pdoc said it doesn't help anxiety was he wrong or right? I really need to know as anxiety fuels depression for me thanks snapper. Love Phillipa
Hi Phillipa. You are not alone, that anxiety fuels depression. I have read somewhere that anxiety preceeds as much as 85% of depressions. I also do not , unfortunately know if Jerry kept his med regime in place or not. I would assume, to a degree but this is obviously not a for sure. I like you and many others have a beast of a time with anxiety. It is like the chicken or the egg thing. Which really did come first. I think it is a lot of biology and psychology mixed in together for a lot of folks. All I know is that if I can help my dep. then my anxiety might get better...and if my anxiety gets better then I hope that my depression might and should get better. I know we are all different. There obviously are no guarantees and I need to proceed accordingly. Yes ....it seems like a double edged swoard (sp) . I hope to report positive things in the next few weeks and months ahead.
my best
