On a note related to the thread title, I too have been told that depression is a significant problem contributing to my issues. Despite evidence that I have presented to the contrary, it is difficult to have a physician consider any other possibility that may be an etiological contributor to various PCS sequelae we face.

It's my personal opinion that most physicians who treat someone with PCS are all too willing to accept and conclude that the individuals headaches, mood swings, anxiety, etc. are linked to depression. Whilst depression is certainly something that most of us are faced with at some point(s) in our recovery, for me it has been a resultant factor rather than a causative one. However, physician's often lack the knowledge and are unwilling or incapable of treating the minutia of issues that someone with PCS are challenged with, and find it all to reasonable to chalk things up to depression.

That's enough of my ranting for today...
