Sometimes it's not just PCOS but the treatment that creates more problems. I have had a problem with depression and anxiety for many years. In the past year I was put on progesterone and in the 3 months that I took it I developed symptoms of prementrual dysphoric disorder. Added to the other medications that I was already taking (that I had finally been able to cut back on due to good therapy and lots of work) I had to add Zoloft. I am doing better now and have stopped the progesterone but when I was given it no one even mentioned to me that there might be some increase in my mental issues. It would be nice for studies to be done on patients with PCOS and also diagnosed with mental illness and how to treat both together. |
