No, as others have suggested, get a blood test. Accelerating depression was surprisingly a symptom of my cancer. So being depressed can also be a symptom of something far more serious than just depression. My depression is still bad, but the difference between taking my cancer meds (not psychiatric meds) and not taking my cancer meds, is a world of difference, depression-wise. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LeFrog@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 years ago (1 child) So being depressed can also be a symptom of something far more serious than just depression.
