Anxiety and Depression in Fibromyalgia

Not all individuals with fibromyalgia suffer from an anxiety or depressive disorder. And just because you get a little anxious doesn't mean you have a mental illness. Lastly, just because you get a little depressed once in a while, doesn't mean you have a depressive disorder. Everyone suffers from anxiety or depression on occasion. We're in this together! I am a psychologist and my passion concerns EVERYTHING fibromyalgia. I also have fibromyalgia and share information about this chronic illness. Thank you for watching!
