Depression and psoriasis

[Fred]

No problem for me at all Fred. I can only speak for my own experience but it seems the opposite is true.
My depression was dependent on me not taking Prozac.
For me it is clearly a case of chemistry/biology. I have never experienced elevated anxiety or any significant side effects. A higher dose has no increased effect and I can miss a day without any symptoms, although I rarely do.
I read a lot of hype about it in the 90's, much of it I did not believe, particularly how it caused suicide and other stuff. Never thought to try it myself until much later. Never looked back since.

Thank you Kip, I asked as it may help others who are reading.

Depression is such a difficult thing to deal with, and I think the sharing of this type of information can be of use to others.

I notice this poll has had 21 votes since I started it in April, Ten of those have ticked the box Severely and Six Mildly, those are eye opening figures and the more people talk about psoriasis and depression the better.

*If you are reading this as a guest and have depression along with psoriasis please don't be alone, you will find a very friendly bunch of people here who understand and are always willing to help if they can.
