I
know it is possible to have an illness or even illnesses present themselves with depressive symptoms and thus
mislead both patient and doctor into thinking that depression is what is wrong or all that is wrong with the individual.
It is entirely possible to suffer from depression and another illness simultaneously. I encourage anyone who feels depressed or who has a depression diagnosis to get a full medical screening to discover other problems the depression could be masking.
