Your resulting depression from PCOS should also be treated. I take
Celexa for my depression and it has made a world of difference. Please
address this with you endochronologist. Depression is a part of PCOS
just as acne, excess hair and weight is. We all deserve a good quality
of life with peace of mind.
Take care Rebeca and Becca.
