I have had depression like symptoms for the past two years but I have had PCOS since I was sixteen ( seven years now ). For those who dont know PCOS is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, which is a health problem that can affect a woman's menstrual cycle, ability to have children, hormones, heart, blood vessels, and appearance. I mean my recent doctor said that depression was one of the symptoms of PCOS, so I dont know what kind of help to get, mental or if this is just a hormonal change in my body, but whatever it is, I am just in a rut and need some kind of truth. All the people around me dont support my quest for help and my family thinks I am making all this up.
