Depression is very typical in people with any kind of a chronic disease and people with COPD are quite likely to have some depression at various times in their COPD experience.

Valerie3, Yes I have depression and anxiety that has gotten worse sense the COPD it never goes away but the dr can try to make it easier for you. I take Xanax and Zoloft.. You’re gonna laugh but the best medicine I find is to be around people who are goofy and funny, and be around my great grandchildren. Try not to be around people who have problems and have to tell you..that’s a NO NO. And don’t worry about little things.The most important person to worry about is yourself. If you would like someone to talk to day or night send me and e mail. I hope this company shows my e mail..take care be happy and stay safe

Grieving is all a part of COPD @A MyCOPDTeam Member.

I have been doing much research. I have learned recently that a lot of the depression is from grieving for our old life. Going through the grieving process and giving yourself time to adjust could help.

I'm sorry for butting in here @A MyCOPDTeam Member, but if you would have been successful in sending @Valarie3 your email address, all we would have seen is a note (in blue) that the email address can only be seen by the sender and recipient" or words to that effect. I don't see a note or an email address, so it must not have gone through. Sorry about that. Have a great day.
