Hi Angie B
I have recurrent depression and MG came after many years coping with depression. The decision to see someone who deals with chronic disease is great: I think that psychoterapy is a strong tool to deal with MG, maily if the therapeut is used to chronic illness. In my oppinion, all the things related to a chronic disease like MG (lack of confidence or support, the impact of new limits or frustrations on self-esteem, social isolation, colateral effects of the drugs, lack of knowledge of the disease from friends or family, loneliness, big changes in life caused by the disease, among many) can cause depression. Besides all these, to be unable to make a plan for anything is terrible!
I hope you will be better soon with the new med.
