Make DARN sure she talks to her dr about this at her appt on Tuesday. I probably shouldn't speak for ALL of us but I'm sure a fair share of the women on this forum have dealt with depression because of their Endo.

All you can do is be there for her. But please make sure you and/or Amy tell her dr about this and maybe increase her anti depressant dosage.

Good luck!
