Hi

I too have depression and am also a nurse. I also have brittle asthma so usually end up in hospital every few months.

My depression is noticeably so much worse during and after my hospital admissions. My last admission was the most traumatic I have ever had, I came home and had flashbacks, nightmares, anything and everything made me cry.

Also, like Elysium3006, as a nurse I have looked after patients and there have been many times that I/the patient themselves/the patients family have noticed a worsening in depression.

I can't explain it but I can empathise. I hope you start to feel better very soon
