I was actally tested for pcos when I went to my g.p. with dire depression, aggression and thinking I was going mad. My g.p. thought I had pcos and was proved correct on blood chemistry. Although I no longer feel the way I did pre hysterectomy, the aggression has gone, I still experience bouts of depression that I work through reluctant to take medication for fear of gaining more weight.
